Hargrave, Picken, Schofield, Wood, Howard and of course Murphy pretty much cover all the back pocket and back flank options we need to cover. If Hargrave goes then Stack would probably be maintained.
Agreed in theory, but even if Hargrave stays Stack will be good insurance down back. Shaggy is injury prone and must only have a year left. We have persisted with Stack this year and I think that will continue. We did see glimpses toward the end of the season.
I know Hargrave can play much taller than Stack, but I think Stack can fill other roles in the future rather than just as a back flanker. I think his perceived flexibility and well as a required depth player will help him to hold his stop and maybe even provide him with the opportunity to prove his detractors wrong.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
