As we are definitely going to finish last, I believe Denis Pagan and the match committee should revise the midfield structure for the rest of the year, with only the following players lining up in the centre, ruck-rover and rover positions until the season ends; Houlihan, Walker, Chambers, Carrazzo, Simpson, Betts, Davies, Bentick, Blackwell, Russell.
We need to see who can stand they heat, and who has potential to be a midfielder in future.
Our lack of good young midfielders is our biggest list management concern.
Kouta should go back, take the third best tall and use his strength, skill and creativity in the defensive 50. This would galvanise the back six as well as extending Kouta's shelf life.
Campo and Stevens should be released to their preferred wide-running roles on the wings, positions that they play naturally.
