    How can a player "be in the blindside"?

    when there was a short side on the left was it him getting alot of that ball?

    Nope, definitely not. He deserves a crack but my thinking is much the same as yours. Powderpuff at the next level IMO.

    Yeah, then Scott in for Creagh since Bird will be on the left.

    Which is why I wouldn't put him in the front row.

    To an extent, I agree with Wilson.

    He's worth trying though I still think. Just tell him to not worry about playing large minutes and just absolutely spend himself in say the first 20, you know, 20+ tackles and 8 or 9 hit ups.

    We need reliable props who at least will get some work done in the opening exchanges.

    Gallen and Tolman would give us that.

    Anywhere else though and he'd be pathetic. Imagine tolman off the bench :yucky:

    What about Hindmarsh at lock instead?

    Hughesy's post lacked Sandor Earl for a wing spot

    Would be my second choice, but his hit-ups are even less effective than Tolman's.

    If you were going to get him to go all out in the first 20 minutes and do 20 tackles and 9 hitups. You're better off picking a front rower with more sting in and attack and defence, and I can name 10 of them.

    I think Fensom should be the lock tbh.

    Hindmarsh's attack is under rated, it's no where near as bad as cunts make out.

    If he started hitting the front runner when he ball plays he'd be hailed a genius, the biggest hole always opens up but the coach must them to play outside.

    Would say the same for Tolman tbh.

    Fensom is the more improved, younger version of Hindmarsh. Does some great work in attack and his defence speaks for himself.

    Nah, Tolman is just really dull. His attack is good enough for club level but would be found out in Origin.

    Only position I'd have open for discussion is Gasnier's, be interested to see how Idris goes at the Titans. Possibly even Champion or Lawrence, not really fussed about left side/right side and Jennings will be up there.

    Pearce retains his spot pretty easily for me, 2 out of 3 good games is enough for a 22 year old halfback regardless of what his last name is. Same goes for Soward even if people believe he's a lesser player to Carney or Campese he did more than enough to retain his spot, also played 2 out of 3 good games imo.

    Picked 4 props with the thuoght of Gallen moving back to lock at some stage in the game. I thought Watmough was yet again great in this series, it surely has to start counting for something...

    Dugan/Bird/Hayne/Gordon that's a really strong left fringe.
