Quote: bewareshadows "I would not play owens.
I think he needs time out.
I do believe in the rotation of the forwards, but generally for the backs I think you earn the shirt until you lose it.
For me Owens has not earned the shirt, he got it through injury and he has not shown enough to deny another player the opportunity.
I thought Dawson went off injured last week, so if he is 100% then maybe him over Peyroux as he has earned a shirt.'"
As I said, we used quite a complicated set up with Owens and SMD to give Lomax as easy a time as possible. The difference between Dawson and Owens isn't sufficient to risk that system failing and exposing Lomax - Swift is due back soon and that should be in time for Lomax to take more on.
I suspect Dawson is okay because he's been named in the 19, but I just think Peyroux could offer us more.
