Plus, I'm very happy with Watts at loose man.
I think that is a good point. If we continue with a 3 prop pack, I'd be happy with Murrell and Dobson as the halves, but you'd still need some cover and also one of Murrell's assets is his versatility. Tough one really. I lean towards getting another, good, half in - one who can cover 6 and 7 (eg/ie Finch). I think that is better for the squad over the season, if not necessarily the strongest paper 17.
Either way, it feels like there are options now, which it didn't a couple of months ago.
