Why is musgrove benched?
Why is Sam moved to prop?
I like it. Harsh on Musgrove but he'll still get good minutes from the bench i believe. He has had some really good performances off the pine.
I feel our prop rotation looks much stronger with Sam up front and both Musgrove and George coming on to relieve the starters. It's probably the best our bench has been for some time and has the ability to influence the game.
Big show of confidence in Murray, giving him an opportunity to show us what he can do at lock. Turner possibly named as insurance so the prop rotation isn't disrupted should Murray need a break.
Still not a fan if a hooker on the bench but it's an improvement.
Structurally, the best 17 we've named this season imo.
