So looking at the ins/outs the average height dropped significantly over the list management periods. Our 12 players out measured on average 1.89m (from the base). The 12 players coming in measure at a much smaller 1.83m, which is signifanct as its the average number.

The number looks better as some of our taller flankers are 1.90m (Young) and 1.89m (Khamis) and the other rookie Jordan Sweet (2.02m) are the only taller players and they are all rookies as it happens. The incoming main listed players range from 1.72m to 1.87m.

Of the role players, we moved out two main listed rucks for a rookie listed ruck. We moved out a KPF and two KPD's, and didn't replace them. So four tall role players were not replaced. The question must be asked, we were significantly unbalanced in 2018 with too many top heavy talls on the list, and this is period has been a re-balancing of the list to have a smaller, quicker squad? Or did we have it about right this year and we've not found the talent to fill these roles and we going into 2019 short? Or is this a preview into Bevo's gameplan/s heading into 2019? Or a bit of all the above?
