2025/26 Jarrad Branthwaite

For home games where we’re chronically struggling to dictate the play, the back 3 might be worth trying again. With O’Brien and Branthwaite there’s enough pace to cover for wing backs pushing forward and they’re both pretty comfortable in bringing the ball out from the back.
 
As good as he is as a player, it’s the balance that he gives us that’s so important isn’t it? When he’s on the pitch a team that doesn’t work becomes one that does.

Now we have 4 top level fit CBs (I know some would disagree) I would expect at 3 at the back.

Myko and Patterson are a waste of a jersey.
