This season has highlighted the difference between what players can do when there’s no one else to do it.
Latrell doesn’t unlock this new found involvement in the game, kicking and playing the distributor if we have a 7 doing a job.
I’d hope now that we’ve seen him do this, it stays next year even if we do have Dodd coming in.
Ditto Koloamatangi in the middle.
We don’t see that if Murray and Tatola aren’t busted and we aren’t struggling to fill a middle.
I really hope the skeleton of what is our next premiership run comes out of some of the adversity and exposure certain players have got though this shitty period.
