I never get people wanting our best player, playing in his best position, who won man of steel in that position playing where he hasn't playing in years.

...What?

A very good call. When we suffer injuries at Saints, people often suggest moving roby to play half back or back row because he can do a decent job, without considering that we're essentially losing a top hooker.



Peoples' motivation is getting the best possible 13(17) together. The attacking role of a 6 and a 1 aren't massively different and if Tomkins has a weakness, its with the high ball. No one mentions, however, that Tomkins is extremely good at marshalling opposition breaks.

He's our best full back, so why play him elsewhere?

George burgess was outstanding again yesterday and should be one of the first names in the 17.



Form prop in the NRL at the moment.



Sam had a great game from LF so should play there.



Think 3 props are nailed on for England in hill, graham and burgess with the 4th place up for grabs.



I'd play rachford in the centres.

Tom burgess is also starting to make an impact now in the souths 17.with luke ready to make a return maybe we could see all four selected?

Tom did ok yesterday, still some work to do.



Think a few SL props are ahead of him.



Not convinced by luke personally.

I'd play Sam at prop and O'Loughlin at 13.

A pack of



Graham

Roby

S burgess

Ellis

Westwood

O loughlin



G Burgess

Hill



With hooker and back row up for grabs still looks as good as any aussie pack.



Our backs look strong, still look weak in the halfs.

Agreed mate, and unlike other years if we get an injury we have some strength in depth to replace them.
