If Dunster keeps his spot ahead of Russell prior to kick off that will do me. Also Cartwright has his best ever season starting so BA demotes him to the bench for a journeyman reject from Canterbury.

The less said about Hodgson the better.
Cartwright has had some shockers in defence. I’m keen to see where he ends up in 2024. He has been free to negotiate since November.

It was 16-6 because of the sin-bin. Are you saying Matto would have changed that ?
Who knows what would have happened, our shit edge defence was way why we were down 16-6. They waltzed down that edge all night. It’s what cost us the game at the end when they just went two passes wide and went through a gap you could fit a truck through.

So if everything we did caused us to lose maybe Matterson should've played even fewer minutes?
What about Lane

Should he be playing fewer mins. He looked gassed with 10 mins to go.

I still have the Townsville prelim in my head where an unplanned poke in the eye forced him off for a 15 min HIA check in the first half was pivotal to us making the GF as Laney had just enough petrol in that final 15 mins to make some huge plays defensively.

Yeah we really need our best forward playing less minutes. Davey is where it’s at baby!!
He played in the middle, where runs and tackles are more important than minutes. If he can bang out his 23 runs and 32 tackles in 52 minutes why not give him a rest? Davey played on our right edge where his job in attack is to make the odd hit up and otherwise run decoys on shift plays. Why would we want to waste Matterson doing that?

Well maybe, but he is an integral part of our left side attack. He made as many runs as tackles ffs.

That observation might be very relevant or it might be one of those memorable things that skews your perception of how relevant it really was to the outcome. Personally I didn't think Lane looked fatigued (and he only made 21 tackles in 80 minutes). I just thought he had the dropsies.

He needs to be starting IMO, especially with Reg out.
