Wouldn’t be surprised to see wighton move to the bench on game day, Crichton is very limited in where he can fill in, jack suits the utility role better.
I think Crichton will be coming on specifically for his very sound defense in the last 20-30 minutes.

On paper it looks a strange move and i think switching them would make a lot more sense.

I'd have had Crighton and Wighton as the centres and Hynes on the bench myself. Not sure i'd want to put my faith in Staggs defensively... but we'll see
Api would be my hooker over Cook too

Hopefully Freddy had a few to many cones earlier and sanity prevails before next week. Critta to start and Jack off the bench makes much more sense.
Terrible idea, critta off the bench he can cover more positions, than simple jack

Jack would be the perfect utility. Guy can play every position on the field except prop and hooker.
Simple jack can only play 5/8th and centre, and is a plod at fullback, that is like every other utility player, critta atleast plays wing and has the motor to be a back up fullback, can also kick goals

Daniel Toopoo to make ‘the hard yards’ out of our own end.

WHATDAf**k?????????
He really can't be doubted in that respect on this year's form.

He is 2nd for wingers on metres gained as well as post contact metres behind only Oates and I don't recall any of those length of the field intercepts, scoop and scores etc. that most wingers have to pad those stats.

He does have the odd dropped ball in him though when coming off his own line so needs to tidy that up.

Complex can play in the backrow and hooker at a pinch. Crighton doesnt really cover those positions

End of the day a combo of those 2 guys covers most of the likely injuries etc. Who starts is really just academic

The coach doesn't care about covering multiple positions. There are blokes who can but he doesn't pick them.
