Has he actually played any centre, my research indicates no?

I sort of see what he means, there are some similarities.

I fell for the bait and switch didn't I? I really regret giving you a further opportunity to push your Kill Bill agenda. Having Mozer at 9 and Madden at 14 is not going to provide cover for an outside back going down. We are in the same scenario. It is going to be particularly galling for you...

And to confirm my earlier post, I had a quick look over the named sides for the first five games, the bench consists of either all forwards (primarily middles with an occasional second rower thrown in) or three forwards or a hooker. About the only that might have a weak claim to a utility is the...

You have to have a genuine utility to be able fill that role. We don't, a lot of the other clubs don't. Quite a few clubs carry two hookers.

And as context, on 18 April I have been doing my current role for 30 years, longer than what Kate has been on the planet.

Double ditto for me, oh to be 28 again.

Also, kudos to Billy for listening to KW that it was necessary to change his position and then to apply himself so diligently to the new position. Others unfortunately have not adopted the same approach (cough Hoffman, Isaako).

Thanks Ning.

They really need to address Walsh's cramping issue, we can't afford in a finals game for him to be cramping up and unable to play.

The problem Kobe has is that he is in the same mould as Reuben Cotter, small mobile middle that hits hard in defence. At this time Cotter has the runs on the board and will be picked ahead of him.

It would be a reaaaaalllllllll hard sell at the moment.

Re Hunt, Baker and Madden, I think we have hyper expectations of these players. Jock's got a hard role in that he is getting crumbs here and there and everyone expects him to come in and shine from the get go. I think if he ever gets an extended run he will start to show us he is potentially a...

That really does not make sense???

You are spot on, he is taking too long to get the kick away, just by a step. A bit like Iliad.

Yep, fair point. Plus with all players fresh after half-time you would think they could hold their own without him to allow him 20-25 minutes good rest. Plus that would have the advantage of brining him back on when some degree of fatigue would have begun to set in again.

The only way from last is up (as we well know).

This is all well and good, and I share the sentiment. But do you not think that in the midst of a bout of injuries, where our best middle is out, and we allowed our next two most accomplished middles leave, that there is justification for Carrigan playing longer minutes for a few weeks and then...

And how serious they are. A 1-2 week injury for anyone we can manage. It is when it starts to get above 4-5 weeks it becomes problematic.

In the game against Melbourne I noted Mam getting into dummy half fairly regularly. I don't know if that was to give the hookers a break??
