        When he's healthy he's been one of our better players on the wing. 200+ metres and strong as. Just hope his body holds up cause he will be good

        Bailey is very good, he needs to stop bitching and get on quit, not sure he is much better than Kelly, Kelly more elusive and Bailey plus the collision game

  He will start with Williams and Tuilagi in the second row, then Williams will go to the middle and Kk will go to the left edge. He won't go with Williams and KK to start.

    Really cause Kautoga has been paired with Pezet on the left, Williams rotating into the middle with Tuilagi. Ryles started Kautoga all year and Tuilagi and Williams filled in the gaps.
    
    Could be wrong but I don't see it at this stage.
    
    Also what happened to you questioning my other blog saying why move our best back-rower to accommodate Blore, yet you are doing the exact thing to accommodate Kautoga? If he is our best back-rower you play him there for full 80.
    
    I don't mind constant debating, as it seems you have done with me lately, but be consistent.

      In your round 1 team list you have Williams and Kautoga as starting second rowers, won't happen. Both are left edge. It could be Williams Tuilagi, or Kautoga Tuilagi.

        If it's the latter, Paulo goes to the bench with Williams in middle. I just see Kautoga better for 80.

        If Williams plays up front, he is better value off the bench, i think Paulo will start with Hopgood and JDB at 13.

        I don't mind that but I don't see Ryles relegating Williams to the bench. But it could be a thing of different weeks they interchange. Paulo starts then Williams etc.
        
        Some saying De Belin at Prop, he will be 13. For sure.
        
        Michael I would love to see your 17.

        Too many combinations to pick from. I'm happy with the squad we have, no matter who Ryles picks, I'm sure they deserve it. Like you said, different weeks change depending on the opposition, a horse for courses scenario.

        It's actually a great situation to be in where you are not sure who to choose.
