| Quote GIANT DAZ="GIANT DAZ"I think picking a best 17 is so hard due to the competition we now have, i've tried to work mine out but cannot get past the backs ....too many options and i dunno which are the best.......guess we can see why Nathan changes the team as often as he does as he has to pick it for real !!
Anyway here i go :
1.Grix - his form means he has to be the 1st name on the team sheet
2.Hodgson - his experience and finishing prowess wins him his place
3.4.Cudjoe - wasn't sure whether to put him on the wing or centre but he's in !!
5. McGillvary - awesome player, on this form would get in any Super League team
6.Brown - got to have both our form halfbacks playing
7.Brough - is there a better player in SL this year??
8.Griffin - big hitter to rough them up
9.Lunt - soften them up before Robbo comes on
10.Mason - smash em early doors till the others come on
11.Gilmour - a player of his calibre and experience has to be in my team
12.Fa'alogo - big hitter, big runner - has to be in !
13.O'Donnell - coming into his own - the lads a machine !
Subs:
Eorl - huge impact off the bench
Patrick - same as Eorl but with speed
Robinson - what a luxury to have this guy coming off the bench to terrorise em !
Faiumu - what a player to bring on !'"
At least NB puts out 17  |

Exactly, ATEOTD it's 2 points doesn't matter if it's Wakey or Wire both games provide 2 points if you win. We should not be resting players, just rotation and keeping them all fighting for their place. |

I think NB is doing a brill job rotating players and it's exiting to see who gets in the squad, my only worry is the centres and wingers as I think that them partnerships need time to gel and should only switch them due to performance issues or injurys. That said I completely trust in what NB does

I can see what your saying about the centres and wingers, although the time to 'gel' is i the run up to the business end of the season.
What he's doing is keeping them all fresh and piloting different combinations, so if needed he knows they are not coming in with no gametime under their belts and straight into a must win situation.
It's no good us playing our best combination all season to then lose one due to injury/suspension and no B plan when we're in the business end.
It's a very clever strategy NB is deploying, over a very long season, with 5 wins from 7 and 27 players rotated is smart. |

I don't know why so many people highly rate Patrick and Kirmond. Great going forward but always spotted on defence. The awesome try Patrick scored against Leeds last year was top rawer, but i've not seen anthing of note since. Is Kirmond quicker and safer than Hodgy? give him a few games back on the wing, too small for back rower for me.??

While i am not totally convinced Danny Kirmond is quite the same since his knee injury i think Larne Patrick is top quality. You mention his defence but i have never noticed a problem. According to the SL stats page he has yet to miss a tackle this season in four games. Last season he made 408 tackled in 21 games and only missed 15.
