| Wonder whatever Hardakers done will have an effect on his selection. Ability wise he is by far our best full back. But Jesus, he was suspended for the 2013 WC and now he has done something that has forced Powell to drop arguably his best player for the clubs biggest game in their entire history. How can you trust him

| Rumours on social media that what Hardakers done, will mean he won't be on the plane to OZ. What a loving waste

Well teams generally play with two in the 17 anyway, so you are only one injury away from needing a third. If you don't have a third, you are forced into either playing someone out of position, or asking a player who doesn't normally play 80 mins to do so at international level after a full season. It makes absolute sense to bring a third IMO.

| Or if you bring someone with the intention of playing them 80 minutes you only need 1 back up. I suspect for example, Ben Hunt is backup to Cam Smith as I'm not seeing anyone else who would be suitable to play 9 and Hunt has played a fair bit thre this year.

Conversely someone like Roby can play hooker and loose forward and at a pinch scrum half.
It also allows rotation as well as extra cover in an important position for a side (hopefully) playing 7 games in 7 weeks against pretty tough opposition after a 37 week season.

| I want Sam Tomkins to play at FB this year for no other reason than to watch the meltdown. He hasn't earned it on merit but I suppose he has been playing in the most one dimensional team. Who knows if he had Widdop/Gale calling the plays he may surprise a few.
