To be fair the core of our pack is all homegrown Smithies, Havard, Shorrocks and Byrne.
Powell and Farrell have been cornerstones but are coming to the end. Leeming is likely Powell replacement.
Brad O’Neill, Junior Nsemba and Harvie Hill all between 18-20 years old and will continue to get opportunities
Leeming fills a need while O’Neill develops.
Walters fills the hole left by losing McDonnell, Nicholson and Pearce Paul.
Chan is a project signing.
Can’t rely on the academy to fill every hole IMO.
