Re: Round 1 - Blues v Tigers (21 March)

As others have said he is a good kick but is another rebound defender type IMO and not a lock down defender, we cant afford too many defenders
who dont defend as their first priority and the times I have seen him play he gets too far away from his man. He almost looks like he would make a good tall winger and maybe he can
be moved upfield in the NB's for some further education.
I think he along with Williamson will be first choice replacements for Marchbank, however Schumacher will certainly be the kick in man if he plays and it is a slow restart. It will be interesting to see how clubs manage this under the new rules because time is going to be everything.
I can see that holding up the kicker in some way will become a priority for opposition forwards, the only way to do this without penalty appears to be start the niggle before they get around to picking up the footy.
