Fin's now very much a LH - and a very good young one at that!

So Baxter, Walker, Kerrod might work then?

Sure, I just see Kerrod as very much a #3 for us at both LH and
TH. He was #2 LH for a period and was performing really well in
that bench role so if Collier had been fit this season we
would've seen Kerrod taking the 17 shirt a lot more than the 18
shirt. And, ironically, that may have held Fin back a little
more.
In other words, Kerrod is a solid, versatile option - but I
wouldn't want our front-line stock at TH to be just Collier and
him. Leaves no room for injury - if Collier gets crocked again,
Kerrod is not good enough a TH to hold fort for weeks/months at
a time.

I remember at University once, playing Champ Manager late into
the night (Sorry, a football game), a notification popped up
saying Andy Cole had "Re-signed", and I threw a strop and packed
it in to go to sleep.
It was only when I woke up with a fresh head I realised he had
re-signed and not handed in his notice

Not sure I agree with that. Before Louw was recruited and
Collier got back to full fitness a couple of seasons back, a
pretty popular opinion on this board was that Kerrod was our #1
TH; he had certainly been good enough to hold his own for a long
run in the shirt. At the moment he’s looking a little ring
rusty, but that’s to be expected given he’s had limited first
team opportunities. Assuming they’re both fit, Kerrod and
Collier are a pretty decent pairing.
Of more concern is who’s coming through to replace them now that
Baxter is the heir apparent to Marler.
