A persistent issue with hip and groin claimed Adam Oxley early last season, and he eventually underwent surgery and now finds himself a rookie after five senior-listed seasons. He lost his half back spot midway through 2016 and bobbed up later as a forward, with little success. Oxley can be a ball magnet when fit and firing, and then can go missing completely the next week. Even if he manages to claw his way back into the senior 22 - a big ask, considering all of the teammates who went past him - he is a highly questionable start at the best of times.
