Lol
I think only the last bench spot is up for grabs right now and it is between Tuivita, Tuilagi, Doorey & Guymer. I think the ability to play both middle and edge will be a factor in this considering the other bench players (Walker, Smith and Moretti) cannot play edge. The spot really should be Matto if his head was not so far up his ass.
I love that a few of our players have worked with speed coaches this off season. Just saw W Penisini working on his acceleration with the same bloke that has been working with Liam Martin. Williams, Simmo and Moretti worked with R Fabri too.
