Boris the Contradiction
Cancelled
In 2014 we played with a full time tagger for the first time in years. Given our first choice (Macaffer) will be out for a lot of 2015 with an injury, who do people think will get first crack at the role for Round 1? We may of course not use a tagger at all, however, I doubt we will ditch an important part of our game plan/strategy just because one player is injured.
With Beams and Ball gone Greenwood will be needed as an almost full-time inside midfielder so it is unlikely to be him. Personally I would give Seedsman a shot at the role in pre-season in an attempt to add a defensive edge to his game. He has the speed and agility to go with almost any mid and the skills to hurt opponents going the other way, however, he probably lacks the strength to curtail any of the better inside mids. For the season proper though, I think Fasolo might be the man considering he has the big body to go with the skills.
Some other options might be Williams, Sinclair, Freeman, Thomas, Kennedy (in a looser "run-with role" such as Wellingham's in our premiership year) or Goldsack as a roughie if we can get him to improve his tank.
So, who will it be?
