Croker will be our nine for 2023. He just took out our Best and Fairest from nine this season. I would alternate him with Lawton, whose best position next season could be as our starting lock. Both Croker and Lawton should play eighty minutes, rotating through hooker and lock, with Jake becoming a permanent part of the prop rotation. I would love to see Weekes given a shot at centre, though this is extremely unlikely to happen. Suppose Weekes doesn't get a start in the backline. In that case, he should be our utility player off the bench, covering halves, fullback, and potentially even hooker if either Croker or Lawton are injured.
