We need a ball winner?

[marcmurphy3]

Does anyone else think that we are in real need of a ball winner who can win the hard ball and feed it out of the packs. One thing I've noticed is that we often have to many of our players in the midfield who are soft recievers and aren't willing to get the hard ball. this was particularly evident in the Sydney game.

So who are some ball winning centremen types that could be options at pick 17 or 19 and how do you rate them against one another? I would love Hislop. Is Conours this sort of player as well?

Hislop and OBrien are ment to be hard at it

Bentick, Blackwell and Murphy all go very hard at it. All will be in our best 22 next year.

O'Brien, who I think we should pick up at 17, is also hard at it. Different from the others as he is more of a flanker IMO, but still goes hard at the ball. Would be a very valuable addition to the team.

Murphy is your man for that.

Murphy is hard at it for sure - but is better used for his delivery rather than as workhorse... actually he could probably get the hard ball - hand ball to himself and then deliver lace out inside 50!
