Seems there are players who no matter how they play keep getting selected when Joe Public can see that they are well off their game.
    Yeah, mate your pedigree is good, but I also like to see it for myself. I've actually seen more of lace than I had of Koteka but a direct comparison with Morahan would be hard unless you see them side by side.

    I didn't think Lacey did so well defensively in his chances in the NRC. My recollection could be wrong though. But it isn't like Cummins has been showering himself in glory defensively.

    What happened with the experiment with Cummins playing at centre from a couple of years back...? Not that I'm a backs expert, but I reckon they should give that a crack again, which would free up one of the wing spots to give Lacey, Scott, Nikoro or the Japanese fella a go.

    I think we all need to take a deep breathe and stop thinking about change for the sake of change.

    Couple of pointers:

    1) At this point in time we only have Cummins until the end of the season, status unknown going forward. No use trailing him anywhere other than his preferred wing option.
    2) Burton and Godwin both youngsters learning their trade, cannot chop and change otherwise no learning will take place, they are our future lets get behind them.
    3) Brad Lacey is only in the extended playing squad and there to cover injuries in need while he learns his future trade, he needs to develop within the squad environment without the pressure of being thrown to the wolves and then discarded if he does not perform at the level everyone wants him to.

    Lets get real and not fantasise, our boys jobs are already hard enough.

    Not a chance in hell, centre is for your best tackler and someone to set up the wings. Fail in both instances.

    Well, that's probably because I played in the forwards all my life.............and, I never noticed the backs making tackles anyway...!

    You must be watching a different team who plays somewhere other than NIB stadium.
