I've never been a big believer in selecting a player just because his form, by his own standards, is excellent, when you have a better player in Premier League. It's a bit like saying Johns should be left out next game because Mullen is playing so well, or that why should Abes come back when Tanner has been playing better than ever? You pick your best team, that's why.
Let me ask you this, for all the times Carmont is doing something good, do you really think it's because he is Carmont? Or is it more often because someone else has done all the work and all he has to do is catch the ball to be in space. What I'm suggesting is that Tighe would also have had a blinder last night, simply because of the opportunities that were created for the centre. Then everyone would be saying how great Tighe played and how he is so much better than Carmont.
I get the feeling there's a bit of "out sight, out of mind" with Tighe. People have forgotten how good he was.
What about when Mullen put Carmont away, and he threw that terrible pass to Quinn? We ended up scoring anyway, but it's an example of how even when he looks good (making a break) he's not really that good, as most centres would've put the ball on Quinn's chest for the try.
Carmont never powers over the line, he never beats his made for speed, he doesn't have as good a passing game as Tighe, and he seriously doesn't have a left foot step - it's all about the sideline for Georgie.
). Your bench could be a bit light too K-man.
