For the backline, I am not adverse at putting Bruce there where he played at GWS with Lew Young as the backup man. As for Schache, he has never played back, and I have a gut feel he can't. As a junior he did play some ruck, so make of it what you will.
Given we've gone into matches before with Cordy and 186cm Wood as our two KPDs, I suspect we're not sending anyone back.
Keath plays and Cordy gets chances as the no 2, with Lewie Young and Gardner forced to fight their way into the side for spots.

Wood and Crozier both appear in our team's plans so they play intercept roles, we try to slow the opposition ball movement down and reduce the number of Cordy (or whichever no 2 KPD plays) one on ones.

It's as much a team plan issue as a 'single player in a position' issue.
