I think if Sandow comes back into seven, McGuire to six and Roberts to the bench we've now got the right 17. Matt Ryan has been great, and between he, Fui and Maitua we've finally got a bit of attacking presence out wide. That's been the biggest missing thing in this side all year.
The key comes down to what to do with Ben Roberts. Casey McGuire gives more stability - he's an old-head and I think if you pare him up with Sandow, it's a much more balanced combination in the halves. Happy to have Roberts come off the bench, he can provide some spark but the problem is you just never know which Ben Roberts is going to run out in any given week, and you just can't have your number six contributing inconsistent performances.

Is the strongest side I see at the moment. Sure you can swap Roberts and McGuire but I don't see it making much of a difference.
I'd reward the effort Ryan put in by giving him more responsibility. Our forwards have been soft for a while now and now we have someone willing to put his hand up, I think we need to give them more responsibility, even if they don't have the skill/proven record of other players. It may inspire the others to put their hand up as well.
roberts until today had been pretty good
I don't think it should be Casey on bench. he's not coming on as a hooker, half or 5/8
he's coming on as a rover. I think you are better to have an extra foward on bench and move Reni into halves if a half gets injured (Roberts to hooker if keating injured)
this is because Sk is using keating as an 80 min player
if we use a back as a bench player then Seage who can cover half fullback 5/8 or hooker and will add spark
unfortunately it seemed like everything was left to Ben Roberts in the 1st half. i believe he missed Sandow today.
The only adjustment needed is the sacking of the coach
I agree, drop Roberts to bench or wenty, he lost us the game today.
