He can. We'd be replicating our 2017/18 defence, with Balta instead of Rance. It'd mean one of the smalls either goes out or moves elsewhere, though.not sure he can play backline with Astbury, Grimes, Broad and Vloss.

Yeah, maybe? I really like Baker in the backline so perhaps Short to the wing? I’d love it if we could turn Balta into the next Kouta though!He can. We'd be replicating our 2017/18 defence, with Balta instead of Rance. It'd mean one of the smalls either goes out or moves elsewhere, though.
Ross has to come in for Pickett.
I don't mind it as a long term option but think we should stick to having him in the backline at least for this season and preferably next too. Don't want to confuse the poor guy.Yeah, maybe?

Agree. If anything Grimes and Broad play better as small defenders than our smalls.He can. We'd be replicating our 2017/18 defence, with Balta instead of Rance. It'd mean one of the smalls either goes out or moves elsewhere, though.
That’s the good thing about Shorty, he’s versatile.Yeah, maybe? I really like Baker in the backline so perhaps Short to the wing?
No question they do. You'd expect Eggs to be first squeezed out, but it becomes interesting if/when Houli returns too.Agree. If anything Grimes and Broad play better as small defenders than our smalls.
Is he?That’s the good thing about Shorty, he’s versatile.
Yep. Can play small forward, wing, defence.Is he?
0/3. Can play designated kicking link backman. Has never played wing (gotta win contests), got moved out of the forward line for a reason (zero pressure) and doesn't defend. He plays in the backline. He has one role, and as a critic I'll admit he's doing okay at it, but he's not versatile, he's limited.Yep. Can play small forward, wing, defence.
True, but it's been Cunnington who kills us and he can't walk. Still, 2019 Jack Ross would be nice to slot in.Nth has done well against us in the past due to their bigger bodied midfield
Should be fine, but with two other blokes going for bumping, you never know. The ball was gone, which ain't in his favour.What's the consensus on Pickett's hit on Heeney (fine/suspension).
Compared to the Long & Shiel, definitely on the minor end.
Hmm, low profile player, from Richmond, doesn’t have the last name Selwood. 1 week But should be nothing.What's the consensus on Pickett's hit on Heeney (fine/suspension).

Did he actually get him high or just high up in the chest. I couldn't really tell from the replay.Should be fine, but with two other blokes going for bumping, you never know. The ball was gone, which ain't in his favour.
I like the aggression though. He laid someone else out as well.

Grimes can play smaller, broad can play smaller or push up the ground. Keep balta right where he is I reconBalta has been very good the last two games. If Astbury comes back this week or even next makes for an interesting discussion Re Balta. Staggered if he is dropped and not sure he can play backline with Astbury, Grimes, Broad and Vloss. Mobile ruck with Chol...drop Soldo? Can he be a Cripps/Bont type as a traditional, non-traditional ruck rover? 3 tall forwards...not if it continues to rain and slippery in humid conditions?
Hard to tell, agree, and Heeney was fine, so he should be ok.Did he actually get him high or just high up in the chest. I couldn't really tell from the replay.
