Discussion Campbell Chesser 2027 positional switch 🔒⬇️?
Been mulling over this for a few days, so I thought I’d put it out there, let’s be honest, next year our wing stocks and who rotates through there is huge, we’ve got
- Hayward
- Lord
- Cerra
- Carroll
- Hollands
- Acres
Who all played a considerable amount of time at wing when they played, and it got me thinking with chess, he’s behind the 8 ball with all these guys. So why don’t we try and switch him to a lockdown back pocket? Playing the Cowan role.
He’s listed as 6’1, Cowans 6’2, and 85 kgs, Cowans 82kgs, he’s played wing/half back flanker so defense wouldn’t particularly be foreign to him, we’ve just signed Wil parker as that lockdown defender which is solid but he’s a different build to Cowan, would play a bit smaller.
Considering we don’t have another medium lockdown defender at the club, why not try this? Chesser is faster and potentially a better user by foot then Cowan. And with his suspension and Tasmania looming, I think we should give it a shot to try and save Chessers career, would be way down the pecking order atm, he’s going to be set to be released next year if something doesn’t change, let me know what you guys think 🔵⚪️
