Tate, great player, but he is no winger.

So Grothe, he deserves it, he will probably be about the 3rd person going on this tour who is in form.

ummmmmm thats right Tate is in the team and Grothe has never played rep footy! hmmmmmmmmmm! Tate nearly saved game 1 on his own bat and if it was not for him scoring the length of the field try the aussie's would have been smashed by more then 10!

Eric Grothe should, but i'm 99% sure Tate will get the gig :roll:

And we would have won by more than 2 in the second game if he wasn't a terrible wing defender. For mine it should come down to Tate and Cooper for the spare centre spot with Grothe now walking into the team

That was at centre. He was exposed on the wing in Game 2. I'd have a specialist winger (and form winger of the comp) ahead of Tate.

Wow, that's one lop-sided poll. And it isn't just Parra fan bias either by the looks of it. Hope Wayne logs onto the forums before he goes to the airport...

If Tate is chosen on the wing it would be bullsh*t. I mean Grothe was one of the form players all year and Tate has already been exposed a few times. Play players in their position Wayne.

I can agree with that, so long as Prince is the 1/2 back and not Barrett! Barrett is doing a great job off the bench and adds that X-factor from dummy half! Prince has been the form half back all season!

some of that may be fuelled by Anti Broncoism (if there is such a word)

i will inform Wayne of the results. I am sure he will bow dow to the LU forum and place Grothe immediately in the team.
