I think Bedeau is an obvious upgrade on Cameron. Cameron would have been very badly caught out last night with Tsaroulla so high (and blowing out of his backside after about 45 minutes) and Crowley, who was predominantly positioned on the left of Robertson/Hinchy when we set up defensively, allowed to drift.

I’m really glad Maynard has simplified the middle CB role. Platt isn’t as quick as Baldwin and that’s been recognised, so he’s not been asked to try and recycle possession when he gets dragged out wide; that was where a lot of Baldwins mistakes came from.

Having said that, although I wouldn’t have him in a starting back three if they were all fit, I do think if you played RCB next to Platt and in front of Bass (who isn’t shy in giving it out) due to a Macari injury or Macari playing RWB (of which he’d be perfectly capable) I think Baldwin would be a much better player and suit us quite nicely.
