Des needs to start picking the best available 17

How many were scored down our left side tonight? Parker cut Ramien down all night and was matched with Lawton on his inside in a largely unfamiliar role playing 80. Harper on the other hand…….
Wished they could of swapped centre positions...Parker on Kaliti Harper on Ramien.
 
I've never seen Parker out hustled or out competed consistently. Outpaced well obviously yes but he usually still finds a way to make a tackle. While it's great to have 'pretty' centres who can run amok, first base for a centre is being able to read the game and make your tackles and Parker does that great. We all saw what happens last night when a centre cant get the basics right in defence your team becomes a shambles in a hurry.

Last night was a great advertisement for Parker IMO - and that wont change the next time his lack of pace is exposed ( as we know it will be ).

If we have our top 17 on the paddock and in their correct positions ,we are hard to beat .Hopefully Des will come around to it before the finals .
