Proctor to start with Koopu to the bench?

Koopu should have been on the bench anyway...adds size and experience.

i dont see why not not its not like theres a lot of good 2nd rowers around
most teams now have a young 2nd rower with a vet
Heighnington is a fringe state of origin player who should get a run this year and Ellis is a england international who could be anything

heighington is decent, sure. but he wont be playing SOO this year.
how can the tigers have one of the best backrows but say one of them 'could be anything'

id say sharks, warriors, titans, dragons and knights have all named backrows that stand out as being better than the tigers, and thats assuming ellis will be good

you must be joking?

No, why would I be joking?

 

[b0rt]

No, why would I be joking?

because one of your backrowers is unproven and theres plenty of other teams with as good, or better, backrows

ellis is a beast, there is a reason he was nominated for the golden boot a few years back.

will add much muscle to an improving tiger fwd pack.
