I liked hunt at 15 when we had other options at 10...not sure about this though
happy enough to see gregory have a "rest"
-
@Kiwiwomble thought Aaron would have a rest the following week against drua, Fakatava is gonna be ace on a sunny Melbourne afternoon

Interesting that Gregory was named at 12 on the official Aussie rugby site (the rest of the 23 was the same)
Maybe he was a late injury rather than dropped? -
@Kiwiwomble I like it. He's a good fullback

Holy shit you've nailed it. He's Blair!
I think @ACT-Crusader used to suggest he should have been a ten. Well now you know, no sir he fucking shouldn't have.

Back to a 6:2 bench but Gilbert at least provides more cover if any early injury strikes.
He can cover right from 10 - 15! Including the midfield
-
@SouthernMann I'd say he could cover the loose forwards too

Brown was very complimentary of this midfield earlier in the season, saying they had the potential to be world class.
Now he's shifted them around in their positions? Weird.
they havent exactly lit the world on fire, maybe just a sign he's not too stubborn to change, this was my preferred midfield at the start of the season so really hoping they do well

TUJ before his injury was terrific at 12. The issue was at 13. Hope it goes well though.

no doubt, and ive said before i'm just a stupid forward that have never really understood the apparent huge difference between 12 and 13, foolishly claiming they could be swapped around more before being corrected
TUJ has shown an ability to break the line so might just be as simple as brownie wants to do that slightly wider and bring the wings into the game?
