Think laterally Stiffy. He adds versatility
Begley can play on a wing if either Burton or Reilly are getting caned and neither of these 2 have been dominant so far this year.
Alternatively if we have problems up forward we can move Begley onto a wing while Burton goes forward.
Begley can also play in the backlines if needed. He's 6'2" so he adds a bit of height but he's also very quick.
My opening side would be
F: Carey Hudson Welsh
HF: Johncock McGregor Goodwin
C: Burton Ricciuto Reilly
HB: Massie Hentschel Smart
B: Edwards Bassett Gallagher
R: Biglands Stenglein McLeod
I: Clarke Stevens Begley Schuback
I doubt that they will do this, but Hudson at FF IS a player who can contest the high ball with Carey as the leading forward and Welsh and co to mop up.
Farmer and Medhurst make life tricky for the backlines with no Ben Hart.
