I'd pick Crosby, wouldn't be against Lauaki (although worried about his temperament) but think Wane will go with Dudson.

Dudson just always looks like someone who needs a kick up the backside to me.

Agree, Dudson worries me defensively, he gets caught on the ground too often and Houghton would have fun from dummy half. Also some fans complain about Lauakis discipline, but Dudson is much worse.

Dudson channels his aggression in the wrong way, getting involved in pushing and shoving and slanging matches against other numpties like LMS.

He needs to focus his aggression on his job, running hard and tackling hard, no more and no less. He runs at half pace most of the time and I'm surprised Wane has as much time for him as he does.

He was just stamping a bit of the turf down to keep Mr W sweet as the football has started!

Crosby is glacial when it comes to getting back in the line

It happened again yesterday for the last Catalan try.

Lauaki gets caught out being too slow returning to the defensive line after tackles. He also rarely pulls his weight in defence. The safe option is Crosby.
