Classic Wheels.

For me the top 3 are Ablett ,Jjb and Clarkson now the rotation idea works when everyone is fit and if we ever get them ALL fit my top 3 are as stated.

For this season I would leave delaney at centre with injuries we have. Would play ablett and JJB/Clarkson on other spot. Ali or huraki would be nowhere near my first team if all are avalable

Waktins needs to go to LC IMO when he comes back and Senior to right. Delaney doesnt pass the ball to his winger more than once a game so its a wasted player outside him. Plus when BJB comes back he would be my right winger. I reckon at the moment Abbo and Clarky are my top 2. JJB and Delaney being just behind them. But again, this can change on a week to week basis.

Agree regarding watkins to left centre. And keith to right but it just won't happen

Ben Jones-Bishop (the leading try scorer in the SL before his injury) will move back on to the wing when fit with Watkins to one of the centres. Where were you at the start of the year? You are posting as if this idea is a shocking new development

Before Lauitiiti gets anywhere near first team selection I'd want to see him string two or three games together in the Under 20s first.

Can't have him breaking down again leaving us short-handed on the bench, which is what's happened the last couple of times he's been injured.

Agree it was likewhen smith was risked at kr. Waste of bench spot and means some of the bigger blokes have to do more time than would like without a breather

Not a problem with the Smith decision as his wasn't a recurring injury IIRC and we were struggling for outside backs at the time.

I wonder whether Lauitiiti's problems relate to being sat on the bench for a while after the pre-game warmup? I know eyebrows were raised at McDermott's insistence on starting with him, but maybe that was viewed as a better way to protect him from injury?

Are we talking Lauitiiti or Bailey here ?

De-railing a thread.
