On a scale of 1-10, what odds would you have given before the team was listed that Salmon would have been selected?
Whooska!Whats the bet he responds with 'woosh' again?
Whoosh
Id like to see cam king to wenty, salmon on the bench ... backline reshuffle corey at 5/8th and whatever makes sense from there - even taka in centres .... salmon to spell reed if necessary for 10 mins
Salmon strikes me as a potential lock forward. He has a bit of size, seems to be pretty physical and knows how to support the ball carrier. I just don't see any organising or try assists in him - from what I have seen so far.
BAs theory is to create flexibility. Anyone can play anywhere within reason. Not sure I agree with this but the players mention it often in interviews and haven't spoken negatively on the subject.BA needs to work out where Gutherson long term future is. This 5/8, Fullback, centre thing is nothing more then disruptive to his development. Then decide on Haynes spot long term. After that he can decide what to do with Salmon.
At moment I see a coach who isn't sure of who goes or plays where.
Can Salmon kick? If Norman goes we need a second option in the halves.
Im surprised no one has mentioned something real important for this match
What are we gonna get Jonathon Thurston at games end?
Hope Hindy is at the game, he will give him something...

Not sure, he is probably too skillfull for a middle role. Seems the game has moved away from having a “5/8” style player in the lock position, to having more of a “prop” there. Also probably lacks the size to constantly take the ball up the middle which will take away from his play making ability.
I see him as a Wade Graham style player on the edge - started in the halves but just lacked a bit of quality in the play making department to be a permanent half but still very skilful. Out wide we can use his ability to run or do some play making with players one on one (which rarely happens it the middle)
