I never said anything about Ryan's marking or courage or Wilson's willingness to attack. What I'm trying to say is that none of Ryan, Wilson, Pearce, Hamling or Logue are the type of player you would want to play on Ryan/Rioli or any other small dangerous forwards. I don't think it's their strength but they have plenty of others.
I think our backline needs a no nonsense do the job shutdown type like Nyhuis. There may be others in our squad but i can't think of one.
Polly you know your stuff so I thought I'd better check the stats and you're right-4 kicks, 10 h/balls, 5 marks but from this weeks debacle 0 kicks, 6 h/balls, 0 marks, 2 tackles. Not sure if he spent the whole game out there though.
