1. Should Alvaro or Rory drop off if Mannah comes back? Obviously Alvaro is in front but he does not really dominate and Rory looked good in his 20 odd minutes. (Unless Scott gets picked for Origin)

2. Who will replace Jennings? Most obvious is Toutai as a direct swap but  Folau is left side, or Faraimo to Wing and Radradra to centre. (Is Gordon still here?)

Interestingly we probably would like to keep Jennings, Taka, Gutherson and French. But none are really great wingers. That is two center positions and a fullback position between four players other sides would want. French can really only play fullback or half at his size.

  • Gutherson to left centre and Toutai on the right is one option, not sure if Toutai has played much on the left. No need for Folau or Faraimo.
  • Toutai has to play for sure, I think he has improved a lot this season.
  • Jennings and Taka in the centres Gutho and French on wing/fullback for next year. French keeps improving every game. He'll be right soon.
  • BA is conservative so I suspect he will drop Rory.  I'd personally drop Alvaro and go with the bigger body in Rory since we have lost Junior.

    Gutherson would most likely move back to left centre and Toutai to come in at right centre.   

    • I think you have nailed it
  • Rory for me, deserves another game given his size
    • I don't think Rory did anything wrong, but for a man his size I expected far more impact when he runs the ball!  Mau has a bigger impact and is half his size.

  • yeah I liked Rorys size. he reminds me of the hound from game of thrones.......
  • Toutai to play drop alvaro not a fan
  • Alvaro 40", 12 runs, 92 metres, 26 tackles

    Obrien 21", 3 runs, 25 metres, 15 tackles

    I don't think Obrien did enough. In defence he also got run around as well.
