If it is not much why not name Sanders at 7? People say it's just a number we'll swap them then?
Why does't Paulo get named on the bench than? IDK. who cares. There are plenty of things we can criticise BA off. This is the last thing we should be caring about rn lol.
Well you said it is just a number, well i answered with why not move them? Paulo has played 200+ games and that can be an honour thing.
Brown is a 6 through and through and Sanders is a 7, both playing 80 can swap them.
I know it is as it is very easy to have one play Halfback on the spot but still a weird thing.
Tualagi, Sanders and Cini had pretty good games in reserve grade.
Cini is effort player. Played alright at the tigers. He may have found his spot.
If Parramatta happen to win this game and Sanders plays well and DB kills it then BA should be sacked immediately after the game , he had the option from the start and rejected it.
If Manly flog us and they run a train through Sanders I suspect he should be as you say aswell lol.
Olakawatu incoming.
That was my first thought as well.
Well he's fucked either way
That is a little narrow minded. There is some nuance here that needs to be considered. Perhaps by not picking him the last few weeks has lit a fire in Sanders and given him a little more determination. From all reports he was going pretty poorly and has improved over the last few weeks. What if picking him now after knocking his ego around is in actual fact a masterstroke? What if coming into the side now rather than 3 weeks ago he has just that little bit more confidence? We may never know either way but not everything is black and white especially when it comes to younger players.
