Could Josh do with a stint down back? There's no question in my mind that we need a second tall down there as any time Cordy got caught up the ground we looked vulnerable.
Schache could no doubt learn some things by playing on some good forwards and also get some desperation into his game. This would also allow us to bring in Trengove to play forward OR back plus ruck relief, and add flexibility to the side.
No doubt in my mind that this is a development year. I think we could experiment throughout and still have a small crack at making the 8.
Sure we could persist with Schache up forward but with Naughton obviously blossoming (what a 3rd qtr!) he's going to attract the biggest/best defender from now on without fail as teams are simply not going to worry about Schache who is not providing a contest.
Thoughts?
