| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"I agree that there's not a lot of difference between prop and loose forward now, but I still think you need a good mix between size and mobility in the pack. If Clubb, Smithies and Lockers come on for Bullock, Singleton and Partington you're suddenly giving up quite a bit of size, which could be a danger if it turns out to be a war of attrition up the middle. Clubb, Partington and Lockers coming on for Bullock, Singleton and Smithies retains more of the size IMO.'"
I don't see us giving up any size Grimmy. Clubb and Bullock are very similar, Smithies is bigger than Partington and fair enough Singleton is a little bit heavier than Lockers. Overall we dont lose any size in my view.

Is Smithies bigger than Partington? I won't look up the playing stats because they are always wrong but he looks smaller to me.
Fair enough though I get what Jukesays and others are saying about the importance of setting the platform early doors, and I definitely don't mean it as a slight on Partington, who I think is doing really well.

He's about 5 kilos heavier and two inches taller.

| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"Too risky IMO. Nether Lockers or G.Burgess is a safe bet to complete a game unfortunately. Play them both together and you run the risk of being down to 15 men. Add in that one of those 15 men is Clubb, who only seems to give us one short spell now, or Greenwood with his history of concussions, and we could end up in real trouble against a Saints pack that tends to dominate anyway.
You risk either Lockers or G.Burgess IMO, not both. On that basis, give me the leader who played last week and has helped us win loads of trophies in the past, as opposed to the guy who has only given us one good game since signing.'"
Fair point. If it came to it Lockers would absolutely be my pick over Burgess. FWIW the only reason for the inclusion of GB was his and Clubbs work rate and game return aren’t too far apart and therefore, IMO, wouldn’t make much difference as to who was there. However looking at it in the way you’ve put it, I’d agree you’d select only one of Lockers/GB

Fair does if you know that, it doesn't look it on the picture. Hope you're not just going off the stats they publicise though because they're always wrong (e.g I'm 6'2, yet taller than players I've seen listed as 6'4 when I've stood next to them).

TBF I didn't really get what you meant because I've always thought Partington looks tiny, would definitely have thought he was smallest, and the stats on the website(dubious, i agree) have him as smaller. He's definitely throwing his weight around more atm though.

| There are only eighteen players barring a last minute injury in contention for a place in the Grand Final team.
The only problem for Lam is to explain to the omitted player why he has been left out!

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"I think we can be pretty sure the 17 will be the one below. I just wonder if he may tinker with the starting pack a little to ensure he’s got 2 out and out props on the bench by starting Lockers but I wouldn’t-
