Casey deserves to be the front runner for that spot right now. Dude will only be better after this experience and another off-season.
Talagi at 6 for mine. Cole on bench as halves and backs cover. Get him training to do some dummy half and he is the perfect utility that would actually get a run. Daine rotting on bench is a waste.
I hate to leave Daine out. Dude has been phenomenal for us. But with injury and Origin he will definitely get plenty of game time too.
Replacing Turuva is a bit tougher. Not because we dont have options… but because we have too many. Alamoti, J. McLean, Kepoa, C. McLean if he doesn’t get centre.
