Throw Long Bannatyne

That could add another DB as a Di as insurance or even add Dixon as another DE.

Depends on how confidant we are on that emergency replacement by one of our Canadians?

That could be Allen if he makes the AR, not going to sweat the possibilities till they announce the cuts on Sunday. Hopefully Vaval is ready to go, first game is one week from this Friday.

I'm not sure Allen is the top replacement for a DHB or CB. I'm guessing Texada or Lamont who could fill in at multiple positions if necessary.

I like Allen but he may be in tough for anything besides the PR at the moment.

Just assuming Allen is filling that 2nd Safety role and playing some part on ST's already. If a CB went down Allen could fill in and a Natl like Kelly or Hallett could cover 2nd Safety.

Ya, if we're at all weaker at DB because of injury it could stay Kelly's termination or demotion.  Kelly is pretty bad at DB, but I think everyone has seen Hallett is even worse.  Hallett is a ST-only, and a very good one at that.  But there's only so many of those guys you can keep around instead of giving the newest crop a chance.  At least with the newest guys you could uncover the odd next Kramdi.
Never go full Johnston!
