Hope LKT the kid gets a decent chance (around 25 minutes) now that Flanno has named him. The fact that Flanno did no go with four forwards as he usually does shows that he now wants to develop LKT and does not see a chance to land a half. Flanno has to show trust the same way that Belamy did with Wishart.
o I have mentioned this before, but Bird is good while he is fresh but his errors go up as he tires, I think they will play it by ear, see how the game is going.. I dont think Flanno would want to burn more than 1 interchange on LKT.
o Definitely still think Flanno wants to find a 7 in the off-season (but probably not a 6 i.e. schuster isnt ideal unless he can cover other positions now that he has lost weight). Could be Marshke but his injuries are a concern.
o Feeling a bit better about this bench for the Titans game.. its a Bottom 8 team all be it a talented one (missing both props).. happy to have backline coverage for this one.. bit different against Panthers/Storm where he sort of needs everything to go right to get a win.
