I like JOD fine btw and am not trying to be the point of dissent. I'm just surprised at how on board everyone is. The venerable Sockeye used to have the 20-game rule and no doubt this is an example of it...probably the most extreme version of it I've seen though.
Given most of us would probably prefer Buku to be the third tall rather than number 2, JOD (or Keath) allows us to rebalance the backline. Whilst Cleary is 191cm he doesn't seem to have to ability to play a little taller like Coffield.
