I assume if Matai doesn'tplay it is Beaver out the backline. Sea Eagles 1. Brett Stewart 2. Michael Robertson 3. Steve Bell 4. Steve Matai 5. Chris Hicks 6. Jamie Lyon 7. Matt Orford(c) 8. Mark Bryant 9. Michael Monaghan 10. Brent Kite 11. A Watmough 12. Glenn Stewart 13. Luke Williamson Interchange: 14. Travis Burns 15. Glenn Hall 16. A Cuthbertson 17. Steve Menzies 18. Jack Afamasaga
What about Burns at 5/8 and then Lyon in the centre. Is a stronger feel to the side and allows Beaver to sub in the pack.
That would seem a sensible option (bringing Ballin onto the bench) but Des seems to want to keep Lyon at 5/8th and therefore Beaver is the best Centre cover available.
Im with Garts on this. Des will persist with Lyon at 5/8 into the finals regardless, so i want to see a cultivated attacking 5/8 by then.
