Greater Western Sydney Giants: Nick Haynes

Did anyone have the Greater Western Sydney Giants competing for a flag this soon? I sure didn’t. If they want to remain contenders for this season at least, they will have to keep their key defenders on the park. Aidan Corr, Caleb Marchbank and Tim Mohr have all missed games, but perhaps most prominently, Nick Haynes has only played in nine of Greater Western Sydney’s 14 games so far this year, meaning he has only played around two thirds of the season. Given that their defence is currently ranked fifth, imagine how it will rise with the return of some height down back. Can the GWS monster possibly get scarier?
