Experience in the back line is something that might be an issue next year.
Johnson has been pretty good this year after the first 2 rounds but with age, injury concerns and a (hopefully) fit Alex Pearce I'm not sure if he should be going another year.
Spurr is getting beaten 1v1 more often, his ball use is often a liability and we have a load of youth coming in that seem offer more. There is no doubt he's been important in leading the new crew down back this year but I don't think we can afford to have him, at least as an undroppable leadership group member.
So the question is can Hamling (38) and Weller (40 but the first 22 were in attack) be our most experienced defenders? I really hope so
