Clearly the coach sees it differently. And so do I.

I think that's Wane being diplomatic.

I read those comments as "Logan isn't markedly better than Doran/Wright/Williams so we don't want him back".

Hard to argue with any of that.

I'd agree with all that.

Williams does look tired but he has played too many games really. Powell is in front of Williams for me at the moment at halfback though so it will do Williams no harm getting games at hooker. They are both way in front of Hampshire for me who has too many deficiencies in his game for SL level.

The real difference is that Powell is older and more experienced. He hasn't had the pressure that we are heaping on the young lads. Ideally we need to get enough older bodies back to take the youngsters out of the firing line and bring them back for the odd cameo with a view to helping them gain confidence at this level. None of the debutantes have let us down, give them a moment of glory but do not rely on them.
