Quote: rugbyleague88 "I don't think I have seen Jack Smith or Simpson play recently. Is Robert's still injured?
I suspect Russell winger and Martin at centre. McDonnell and Goudemand at 2nd row.'"
Yes good call, would hope Russell can come in - he played alright for his debut I thought.
Goudemand needs to play back row / bench rather than prop, we had this discussion when we signed him but he just isn't a prop to my mind, like Donaldson isn't and never will be.
Given the struggle the pack is having this year, with Martin seconded out again RS will need to get the right selection. Cam Smith is probably a better middle than Goudemand, maybe we push O'Connor back to 13 and rotate Ackers and Johnson at 9 for this one.
