Re Watson, nous is more important than speed at CHF - see Lance 'the Lunchbox' Whitnall and even old Earl S.
Personally, keep Hendo down back and build a bloody solid defence.
I disagree. At present, Hendo is the only tall forward we have who can play inside our 50 without making a fool of himself. Can take a contested mark and can kick straight.
I think the point is Watson has the 'potential' to play as a KPP - nothing more, nothing less...
In an ideal world Jammo and Watson would be the key tall defenders with Everitt the 3rd tall. Our forward line looked at its most lethal with both Hendo and Waite as the two talls up forward with a resting ruckman providing another headache for opposition coaches.
