Why Liu over Evans?

Originally posted by Yak View PostI agree that he's nowhere near the player Kane Evans is but in saying that the potential that Evans holds is far beyond being a first grader. Imo Liu, Ailaomai, Napa, Evans, Houma and Tago are all capable of being bench props within the structures that Robinson has developed. I'm not saying they will all become regular first graders cos that would be ludicrous but I do think they could all fill in and do very good jobs in first grade if need be. The only problem is if we are getting down to the likes of Houma then likelihood is one of our starting props is injured and you lose a lot of leadership that affects the performances of the less experienced. So what I'm saying is if they are used on a rotational basis to gain experience they will probably do well, but if they are chosen due to a high number of injuries they may well struggle. In saying all this Robinson may very well go with Guerra and LOD this week and leave Liu out. Against the experienced pack of Canberra and having lost his 3rd most experienced forward he might feel LOD's presence is necessary.
One of the up'n'coming props mentioned above was sounded out by the WTigers a few weeks back promising a 1st grade
opportunity this year if he could be granted a release .

Maubs has a better combo with Pearce in attack and defence than Guerra, so I think he'll miss out again.

To me it looks like Evans has been playing stellar for the Jets, why has Liu been picked ahead of him?
He has just come out of the U20s where no ones defense is up to it.
