Bugger. It does brown up the back three at least though......

Noooo.
Not aimed at DMac, just disappointed there's no BB.

Not thrilled about that.
I would have moved Jordie to fullback and brought in Sevu Reece.
Thrilled about that. Reece can eat a bag of dicks and DMac will make the Fern match thread interesting.

@Nepia Well, no-one is a clone...
They were wing-fullbacks - as opposed to power wingers or out-and-out speedsters.
They're the two who are as close to Bridge in my mind, as anyone.
It’s just weird to pick such good attacking players to compare him against. Guildford was a wing fullback too, worked hard like Bridge and had excellent pace.
I wouldn’t say either beat people with footwork, so a better comparison than Jane or Dagg.

Yeah, Guildford is probably closer. They're both great if put in space and they're both good at getting in positions to put in space.
Last year I wanted Bridge to be our right wing/fullback style dude but they picked him to replace our attacking left wing.

This is worse. Hilarious

@Nepia I have Zac as a different sort of wing - and actually more like Doug Howlett!
Rieko is part of the reason that RWC 2019 caught us at a low ebb.
He had injury problems, but regardless - in the games he played subsequent to Perth, he never showed sufficient form to displace George.
At anything like his peak the door never would have opened.

WTF???
Put Jordie at 15 and Caleb Clarke on the wing.
D Mac on the bench.That would make sense BUT obviously both Bridge and Clarke are primarily left wingers.
Details, details.
I've got no time for facts. -
How in the sweet fuck does DMac get a start? He shouldn't even be in the squad ffs.
