It's where the game is won and lost.
And ours at the moment is very dodgy at best.

Dusty has issues because his dad has been deported,
Cotchin.......WTF?
Deledio we are just too reliant on and when injured creates a massive hole,
Edwards, hopefully not becoming injury prone
Miles is a star
Lambert, showing some great signs
B Ellis, absolutely incredibly inconsistent
Grigg, a good downhill skier
Macintosh, will become very good
Townsend, early days
Moore, early days
Menedue, should be very good
C Ellis, will be elite
Mckenzie, early days

Dimma has some big decisions to make, continue with the proven who go missing when the heat is applied, or give the kids more time in the middle and risk season 2016

Talk about knee jerk. Dimma won't be making any such decisions to risk season 2016. His sights will be squarely on finals in 2016 and Cotchin, Deledion, Miles, Dusty will continue to be the core of our midfield with others stepping up as they progress.
 
I think the bloke in the ruck may have had a fair bit to do with how the midfield performed on Thursday night. But no Grigg and Lids was big, and Dusty, Cotchin, Edwards and Ellis all had dirty nights.

Reece the big bodied midfielder we've been crying out for?
 
Lack of midfield depth and quality is a real concern. That is why the games from Menadue, Cellis and Rioli last night were very important for the RFC. All natural mids.
