Rastus_in_Melbourne said:I like Bowen at fullback. If NSW go hunting to contain Lockyer and Thurston then Bowen is going to have a field day. What we lose in Slater dynamic running we more than gain in having an extra creative option. I still don't think it's our best backs. Bowman has do nothing wrong (neither did Slater) but I'd play Hodges in his place and have the Brisbane combination in the centres, both him and Berrigan are in good form.
TBA is for Carroll. If he gets picked he goes into lock and Flannery to the bench. But if he doesn't get picked not sure who comes in then. Ideas ?
skeepe said:I also thought that this may be a possibility. Smith stated that his prime reason for retiring from rep footy was that he didn't want to miss any matches for the Raiders that he could otherwise have been playing in. By naming TBA and then naming the player next week, that problem is removed.
Two rookies for a decider??? Very risky.

TC didnt play on the weekend. He hasnt played since the newcastle game and he only lasted 20min in that game.
NPK said:Yea I know, but apparently he is playing next weekend and they'll give him every chance to get game time and prove his fitness.
That was an opening game. Teams blood new players in them all the time. Deciders are completely different, with three times the pressure and no second chance if they screw up.theVodkaCircle said:You're kidding aren't you ? You remember game one 2001 ?
6 or so rookies and there were 4 tries scored by rookies if I remember correctly.
Walker, Webb, Buttigieg and Doyle
