I understand the logic too, but it's still a big no to Koshitski. And although you try to be diplomatic and nice, when it boils down to it, you don't want him either.
The reason people say they'd prefer Newton is (IMO) it is exactly like comparing spuds and spuds. If we want a spud to play Frankenstein's monster and plonk himself in the forward line whilst bumbling and stumbling around, doing his best impression of an Aussie Rules footballer (who has undergone a recent lobotomy)- we already have that.
Even though I want Newton away from the club ASAP, I'd rather give him the role. Why not stick to the NQR'S we have on the list and use our picks for the next best thing as a pose to taking someone else's trash?
