though... At 13 he has the luxury of a bit more time and space
to assess options before either stepping in off the outside foot
and beating the man inside or burning off on one of his looping
arcs on the outside. Really feel 12 would limit his more obvious
strengths.

I think it's basically that he's bulked up a bit in pre season
and looks to have the heft to offer a crash ball option. But the
sense was that it was mainly a backup plan, and that if the
available centres were Beard and Northmore then they'd play them
in that order rather than the other way around.

Thanks for sharing PF. Pleasingly, Gilmore's comments all sound
realistic and sensible.
Re Andre, they acknowledge that a like-for-like replacement is
almost impossible. Did they elaborate on the key attributes they
were prioritsing in their search for a new 12?

It’s cute I’ve had an influence. Maybe you can finally get me a
beer/bottle of bollinger in and we can hug it out
