How many do we drop this week?

Serious question for those calling for mass changes/young blood?

Ahh, hindsight at 5W - 5L. You couldn't script this any better...There's gotta be a hindsight quote somewhere...

I thought Garrick did a good job nearly running him down from the other side of the field. Thats the kind of effort you want to see from your team having a go.

And of course, if Turbo was playing at fullback its debatable whether or not Blake would have even made it to halfway or just beyond because no way would he have outrun Tom (as quick as Reubs is I think Turbo is faster), and Tom wouldn't have had to come from the far side of the field.

Worth watching the 1 and 14 for the Cowboys if you you want to see how young blokes approach the game these days. Just another couple of youngsters to shine when given an opportunity. Stephen Creighton top try’s Ofer in comp at 19!

Not saying we need our young guys right now or not but the old days are gone. If they are good enough they are old enough and treating big young strong athletes with kid gloves if they are a genuine option in tough times is just not the way in the modern game.

Hoppa for Elliot.

Funa for Garrick

Guacamole for Waddell or JetSki.

Suli was solid with his carries yesterday, for me he showed some courage and toughness coming back on, I have not seen that in him before. Was good to see.

Elliott was good last night, but if we had a genuine fullback ready to go then sure.
Waddell is out of form, I'd bring in Sipley for him.

Metcalf would provide a lot more in attack... I think its more a matter of Des conservatism than not being a specialist fullback.

Elliott is hardly a specialist fullback more a specialist reserve grade fill in who goes fairly well at centre/wing but wouldnt occupy a spine position like fullback in any top team.

Crichton is a talent, could be anything. I am not sure if centre is his best position though, not sure if he has played much fullback, to me he could have a future in the number one jumper.
