Newcombe??? A balanced player???? I think that her attack is too weak . She is not an all around.
She is not, but she can replace Ilkin when she is in trouble and she is experienced so she would not pound the ball to the block over and over like Ilkin does.
She can also replace Anthi in backrow time to time or the opposite to help in receiving. I don't think GS would afford a better player than someone like Newcombe as a bench OH.
