Edited - Discovered Cooper was picked in the squad just not mentioned in the post
Big Mick said:
tonga, cooper, gasnier, gidley, hannay all better options than berrigan in the centres.
Berrigan deserved to go
Gidley should have gone
Gasnier is injured and probably would have gone
Tate should not have gone
Tonga should not have gone
I rank the centres - Cooper, Gasnier, Berrigan, A McDougall, Gidley, L Lewis, Cross, Monaghan, Hegarty, Hannay, Tonga, Bowman, Tate
The ranking is simply ranking them at their ability at centre; some like AM and LL are better on the wing.
Of that list -
Gasnier is injured
McDougall is injured
Lewis is injured
AFAIK Gidley, Cross, Monaghan, Hannay, Hegarty, Bowman aren't injured
Yet they picked the 1st choice, 3rd choice, 11th choice, and 13th choice? Why not pick the 1st choce, 3rd choice, 5th choice, and 7th choice?
I rank the wingers - L Lewis, J Monaghan, A McDougall, M Sing, E Grothe, L Rooney, P Richards, T Tahu, S Donald
Wing wasn't picked too badly
But Monaghan not being picked is a joke - he wasn't in the squad so it was expected though.
