I really liked the mobility, muscle and ability at ground level in the forward line scrimmages that our forwards brought on Friday night.
If Lav gets more accurate I really like what he brings to the forward line, with Langford doing well up there as well and even Begley adding grunt and doubling as a seagull. This seemed to work well with Raz, Walla, Smack and Stringer when he was on the ground.
I was toying with the idea of advocating for Hooker predominantly forward after Francis has regained confidence playing KPD in the VFL and establishing him in the back 6 with occasional swings forward and Cale back when necessary; but this idea only makes sense to me if our forward line isn’t working.
Now I want to see if the dynamic hustle, bussle and muscle forward group from Friday night can make a go of it.
