I think so too, would always go for experienced wingers in this situation, Gardner and Meli are proper wingers and take a lot of energy out of the opposition. Brown has gone for the right options for this game.

good luck with that!!

Except Gardner and Meli have been our wingers on most of our trips to HKR and we have still lost most of our games there.

It was not wrote with confidence as you can tell I am praying they do

I reckon Roby's been hooker for most of the trips too.

You can say that for all our forwards, centres and half backs so why have you cherry picked the wingers to justify your selection.

and roby has been our 9, we shouldnt ever play him against them either

Jinx!

Please read for context.

I was responding to the point about experience. You have simply agreed with my point. For most of the trips to HKR we have played the same players and still lost. So why should Gardner's experience be considered more helpful than Swift's pace and step? That's right: it isn't. We still lose there loads, regardless of who we play. So why not introduce a bit of threat and pace instead of going with the same old, same old?

I think Makinson has done OK at FB but I would rather give Swift a go there. Think he could be an explosive runner from there. Give Makinson his wing spot back.

Gardners kick returns aren't even that good.

Percival is in the line up. Why not Swift?

Interesting thought. No idea how well he reads a game though, have you? I haven't seen enough of him to have any idea.

Perhaps Swift is further behind in development and looking fatigued either physically or mentally in training? There may be a number of reasons
