Who is your left back? You say you're missing Hogg, yet he is behind the pecking order at the nix and AWs to lochead. So surely he'd get game time.
Looking forward to the game v waitakere on the 2nd.
Think the game against Waitakere will largely decide who qualifies for O League next year. Should be a humdinger!
It seems Andy Milne is mostly at LB and he's making a reasonable fist of it. The problem is central defence which is now Simon Arms and Chris Bale, with Ivan out right. It's a bit to makeshift particularly for a style which relies more on defence than attack. I fear we're going to struggle to contain De Friis, Krisna and Pearce who are obviously going to press us high up the field looking for a badly hit back or square pass to pounce on, just like Team Wellington successfully did in the play-offs last season.
