I reckon we should keep same team that we used against Brisbane
I agree. I was happy with the way the forwards muscled up, and that we competed for the 80 minutes. Only problem is we have a rightside weakness in defence, and Brisibane/Bennett exploited it.
Hayne would be lucky to be picked in Origin if I was selecting - he had a shocker of a game for us! But he'll be picked so we have to cover his position.
I'm not sure I'm ready to blame Grothe for always having an overlap against him though - that's a problem from further inside and I think rests with the forwards not lining up or shifting across when the opposition shifts someone across...
1. Burt
2. Inu
3. Reddy
4. Hayne/Tautaui (presuming Ben Smith is still out)
5. Grothe (incidently, has anyone every tried Eric at centre? Maybe we should convert him instead of Hayne and allow someone else on the wing to turn and chase those short kicks that are now our most glaring defensive weakness...)
6. Mateo
7. Finch
8. Cayless
9. Keating (leave Riddell as an impact/utility/switch from the bench)
10. Paulo
11. Hindy
12. Wagon (Weller was too costly with penalties for my liking)
13. Robinson (we're going to miss him badly next year, unless Ben Smith's conversion to the pack works out well)
14. Riddell
15. Oake (possible suspension pending)
16. Fui Fui
17. Hauraki
18. Cordoba
