Will Tragardh for Crosswhite change Taipans' D?
The Taipans' coach Fearne runs a dour defensive unit and outgoing centre Ian Crosswhite was a part of that. Incoming scorer Cam Tragardh can put points up quickly but isn't renowned for his defence.
The league this year sees a few strong frontcourt groups including Pledger/Hudson/Vukona/Boucher, Knight/Redhage/Wagstaff, and Schenscher/Johnson/Petrie. Cairns' combo of Tragardh, Loughton, Edwards and Rychart look as solid as any other on paper.
Can Fearne make the new combination work?
