  • Edwards at 6 is a poor selection. Not only does it weaken our halves but it also weakens his impact of the bench. Surely there is a better option?
    • X2
    • There's no other safe option. There's no point moving Gutherson from fullback - he plays like a second five-eighth anyway.
    • As strange as it sounds Gower is also capable of filling in at 6.

    Still no Granville, Coote. Thurston a slight chance on the extended bench
    .
  • I would play Beau scott at 5/8

    ILL BE BACK

  • why not put gut at 6 hoff at fb and bring in our best wing option in wenty whether it be  george jennings or even bring in will smith out the back or in the halves

    • Jennings is out mate.
      And Will Smith wasn't good at fullback last game.
  • Edwards at 6 is a worry?
    Come on Tigers, release Holy Moses.
  • For fuck sake BA doesn't like to pick from outside a core group yljenny at 5/8 puts more pressure on normz just pick smith or gutho at 6.
