      Well all that gear on means he just got out of surgery, at least he hasn't been mucked around getting it done.
      
      Changes the advantage we had with Coates out.....no one can replace him....just have to slog it out in the pigs!

Would be more panicked and concerned if Samrani hadn't showed the promise he had in the trials. My call is him straight to left wing, Russell to wing & Brian Kelly to centre also an option but Samrani straight in allows a straight swap in the backline with no other shuffling needed
