I am surprised Tyran Smith didn't get picked for halfback. As all our halfbacks have to be be old players called Smith, from now on.
And I think Bulgarelli should be in the 5/8th position, with McLinden on the bench, maybe dropped to Premier League. We wouldn't want anyone in the team who can run fast and attack the line.
And I can't understand why Drew is on the bench. Get him into the starting line up at hooker straight away! We need his intelligent kicking and passing game and his capacity to last the whole match. We can play Woolford in the lock position, if he is fit.
I can't believe anyone is complaining about Thompson in the starting line up. Someone has to produce a highest error rate, and we wouldn't want our new five eighth to get it.
