It doesn't really solve the Lade problem you're talking about though, you're still going to be exposed playing 191-192cm player on a 199cm ruckman. We're going to have the same problem with Reiwoldt (who's a tall 193, if that makes sense), Franklin (196), Ottens, and probably half a dozen other forward/ruckman I can't think off. I don't really see this problem going way until Harlett and Setanta come through to give us those extra few inches of height to play around with.
Don't quite agree with this. I think Norman is the perfect size for these blokes and with Thornton @ CHB we have them covered. Livingston is the key to our defensive fortunes. Kid comes good and holds FB and we are away.
Then we'll agree to disagree. If a team has a 200cm centimetre ruckman resting in our forward line (and Port could probably rest 2 if they wanted to), then I don't believe 193cm Norman (much as I rate him) can cover that without holding or otherwise fouling them which you don't get away with everytime.
With Livo and T-bird up and flying like they were in the Wizard Cup I think we're a top 6-4 team. But being able to cover a 195cm+ forward in the dying mintues of a final without giving away a penalty can be the difference between top 4 and premier.
