@bones This week it's just injuries. But we've had other reasons this year: birth of a child, death in the family ...
Oh I get it now - you're not saying you'd choose someone else instead of Crotty to replace SBW, just other positions.
I'm keen as mustard to see that midfield combo. Crotty has been a bit underwhelming in his limited minutes.

@stargazer oh obviously because there could be no other reason. I reckon @ACT-Crusader could name a team to make you happy.
-
I like this lineup and the only changes I’d make to the 23 would be in the forwards and that is down to available personnel.
-
Not convinced the SBW-Goodhue pairing tells us much more about their preference there, they know how well Crotty-Goodhue works, how good SBW-Crotty works and seen a bit of both pairings with ALB as well...I am surprised they haven't started the ALB-Goodhue one though, may see it on EOYT, that is one that I reckon could take us through the next few years, starting with next years RWC.
-
Hansen said as much in the presser - apart from the ALB stuff, but that must be their thoughts for the future.

But Perry is available...
Do you mean Taufua at 6?

TAB has the ABs at $1.19 and Boks at $4.55.
Despite all the articles talking this game up, seems like the punters don't expect us to lose.
I don't either.
You've put your hand up as our first scapegoat should things go awry.
