Bloody hell do the selectors not have a clue. Cunners should be in for O'Brien at least.

Massive forwardline is stupid, but I hope I'm proven wrong.
No they dont..I heard them in the corridor saying geez we don't have a clue...who can we ask? Oh I know

A lot of complaining about 4 talls but it isn’t really. Curnow adds to last weeks side. Polson was non existent. We could leave Curnow on the bench for the whole game and we’d be just as good as last week.

They’ve also brought Stratton and O’Brien in. So they’re pretty tall too.
I agree Curnow is a better player than Polson but when has this structure ever really looked good for us? Especially with JSOS playing as well?

Aha they've walked straight into Bolts trap. And does this means the two shortest coaches in the League have picked the two tallest teams?

why 5 KPFs? Bring in Kerr as well, he's been playing well. Need 6KPFs! Bring back Lobbe or Phillips (not both) as well so all 4 of our rucks can be rested.

Kreuzer 50%, then share it out between McKay, Casboult and Lobbe. Bring back Macreadie too. We need at least 15 KPPs and big men.

MORE!

Ha Ha - maybe that’s the issue, Bolts thinks all the players are talls and doesn’t distinguish between them.

5?

McKay Casboult maybe Charlie. Would never call McGovern a KPF and who’s the other?

Look at the end of the day, if we do go in as named, I think we're probably OK.

The reasoning for playing Casboult + big 3 is likely because Cas killed it last week, the big 3 are relatively mobile for their size and so we can leave McKay full time.

Unfortunately, I think it means we are too tall and slow. Fast/agile for your size doesn't mean you're actually fast or agile.

Unpopular opinion, but I think if we are determined to keep McKay as a pure forward, we end up choosing best 22 between McGovern and Cas.
