A few young names being banded about. Do people remember the early/mid naughties when Steven was being talked up as a future AW captain. I've seen that happen to a number of other young players too more recently.
A while ago I made a comment here that depth in defense was depleting, I don't as yet see that dwindling depth plateauing and increasing again anytime soon.
Its a big drop from Smith/Reid (1st string) → Durante/Fitzgerald/Boxall/Raux/Lochhead (2nd string) → the rest (Musa/Eager/Doyle/Tuiloma etc).
