Sure this will ignite some debate amongst the punters. What's everyone's thoughts on who should get the bench spot between DCE or Robbie Farah?

My vote goes for DCE

You have to have a Nine on every bench IMO. Yes Cronk can go in there, but for mine Evans to start, Farah on the bench, Cronk in the stand.

I don't think we need a utility on the bench in this team, but if we must then farah offers more as a utility.

Sheenius seems to dictate you don't have to choose, put 2 tiny people on the bench and just sit back all proud of your decision like it doesn't make you a moron.

Seriously though there's no reason for farrah to be there at all, and I feel like cronk shouldn't be either. DCE at 7 would be ideal, but if not definitely at 14.

Neither.

DCE should take Cronk's place. Cronk and Farah drop out of the 17.

There is no way that Australia need a "utility" on the bench.

Don't like having either on the bench. Unless you're going for a specific strategy where you rotate the hookers in which case it would be Farah.

Picking a half or a utility on the bench for a team of this quality is a waste of time.

Even on one leg he is still the worlds premier utility player
Lol, no he isn't and never was. Just because someone is not outstanding in any position doesn't mean they're good at every position, it just means they shouldn't be professional football players. That's gidley.

His 12 test caps for Australia say different

Nope. It says selectors are prone to using faulty logic, just like you.
Getting the caps is one thing, doing something with them another. The latter is what determines whether or not he's a good player.
