I hate the inexperience argument, sometimes it is ridiculous. Grothe is the best winger in the comp, why the hell would anyone prefer two centres to play wing. The only thing Tate has proven at test level is that he can play centre but sucks horribly at wing. Cooper is a centre too and barely has any test experience, yet you have no problem playing him out of position in favour of Grothe?lockyno1 said:Why not put Cooper on the wing? He probally has played more than Tate there. Tate is proven at test level, Grothe is not. Take tate out and you have King, Grothe, Cooper, Gasnier, Prince who ALL have less than 5 caps. That is very dangerous in a test match having that many inexperienced players. Grothe will get a game but it probally will be either late in the tournament if there is an injury OR against the French.
East Coast Tiger said:Tate. He's done a good job so far, even in the first game when the Roos played poorly. It would be pretty unfair to drop him now in favour of a bloke selectors didn't think (rightly or wrongly) was worth picking in the first place.
