i am also surprised that Lowe and Champion have been nominated , however as i consider , i believe this is a long term solution . i.e. both have their current contracts ending 2011 and i understand there is already interest in Champion for 2012 and beyond and would expect same with Lowe given he most likely will be a Qld origin in 2011. As such , given Burgess ( 'ss) and Luke and Taylor as well as Inglis , we need to let go some replaceable players.
champion is good however backend of 2010 , was NOT great and we do have young centres coming through , besides a must to fit Dylan F into first team in 2011 , especially if Inglis is playing centre.
Lowe can be covered by Eddie P, Shannon M, Jason C not to mention possible switch of Sutton to look to allow Mundine to slot into 5/8.
I thought Inglis would be full back , however if Bennett is coming in 2012 and then high chance Darius Boyd follows , then perhaps Wesser covering fullback for 2011 makes sense. Also we have potential fullback in Mcqueen, Mansour in 2011 and definitely in later years young Roberts who looks DYNAMITE ( Roberts could be a surprise explosion for us in later 2011)
