I largely agree I think......

17. Walker / Fozzard (Have to give Walker some time this year, he came on tons last year and we didn't fight for his signature to have him in the juniors every week.)
You know what, as a run on 17, I would probably take that. I am worried around halves and hooker if we lose anyone, because we are thin there. we know TM likes playing Jones as interchnage hooker and although he doesn't do anything wrong, he is not a specialist.
With Orr in the squad and Rangi more experienced, if we did give a younger squad member some runs at scrum half, I think we could protect them with experience and bring them on, we have enough utility in that 17 to give them a break or take the load off them.
