“Him obviously coming back is a really exciting prospect for us, he played on a wing a little bit last week.”
“I guess just having that flexibility to be able to play wing and potentially half-back will open up opportunities for him, it might even open up opportunities for guys like Starc (Brandon Starcevich) who last year sort of built his game on being a real lock down defender.”
“And then obviously having Noah there who’s quite proficient in that role, it’s a good opportunity for Starc to hopefully get involved a little bit more offensively and bounce the ball out of our half-back line.” Andrews said.
