Plenty said about our performance yesterday, but does that signal team changes?
My thoughts are as follows:
F/B - Dufty - has to remain and gain further invaluable experience
W - Nene and Nighty
C - Lafai and Dugan
6 - Widdop
7 - Mann
8 - LAM
9 - McInnes
10 - Vaughan
11 - Friz (if fit)
12 - Thompson
13 - JDB
Bench
14 - Sims
15 - Lawrie - we need a prop not a makeshift one
16 - Packer - on borrowed time
17 - McCrone - as the back up hooker/half
Feel for young Host but he needs game time and he's only going to get it in reggies (unfortunately).
I think Mann would supply more spark at half, and allow Widdop to do the kicking. McCrone played hooker for the Cutters last year and could be a useful interchange to give McInnes a breather. Plus I think it adds better balance to the backline especially if we cop an injury where Mann could cover. I'd put Sims as the attacking edge weapon where I feel he's more dangerous rather than punching it up in the engine room.
If Friz is busted then Host should get the bench spot and move Sims onto the 2nd row.
Anyway, just my thoughts.
