Where do we see it? In following up thoughts I was milling over on the KPP thread I mentioned the likely names, but I'd like to know your thoughts..
As has been noted on many an occasion, Leppa to CHB has been the most obvious change that coaligns with our push towards champion team status.. When he hangs up the boots though who takes over? Hadley, Weller, Morrisson, McLaren.. perhaps even a bulked up and slightly more disciplined Bushy?

i'd prolly say out of those few, lukey would do a good job at CHB and he's got a frame similar to leppa's and he's got a good work ethic too...but im unsure as to whether he's got the running-forward-flair that leppa has...
morro might do well too...

Hadley? Don't think so. Leppitsch to still pretty young I think, but I think McLaren could be a good CHB for the future.
I don't think it is that serious a problem. Although we don't have a natural CHB we have 3 or 4 guys who can easily step into the position if required. Remember Pikey made is name in the backline and is also a possibility.

I believe that if we want Leppa to have a longer career, that after the next season or two he is used up forward. It might occur at the end of next year. I would prefer to have Leppa and Brown up forward when Lynch retires. I don't see a future Bradshaw has in the team structure. Who replaces Leppitsch down back is one which is out of two players. Morrison and McLaren. Those two are the players I believe that will be capable of filling in that role. Morro was kept on the list for a reason and I expect him to get the nod at CHB whenever Leppitsch is injured or when Leppitsch is placed up forward. Morro I believe is more suited down back than up forward and he is our replacement. McLaren or Morrison won't see past 2003 in lions colours as one of them can fill in the role of CHB.
Voss, Leppitsch and Brown up forward past 2003 is something which we can look forward to.
You could be pretty close to the mark SB because Lynchy will finish at the end of the season leaving a whole up forward and Leppa started his career up forward and would be a perfect replacement for the legend.

Dylan McLaren has the attributes to develop into a decent CHB; maybe even a FB. Strong hands, excellent spoiler, ample football smarts. Might struggle against a quicker, more mobile sort of forward, though, but would do well against a stay at home, mark and kick type.
