      No pace but solid defender and has the ball playing skills as a half as well as an extra kicking option. (Fairly good clearing left footer too)

      Leave whyte on the bench for rotation.

      Cant expect lindsay to play 60-80 mins each week or he'll be cooked by the time we get our squad depth back.

      Leave the cheese and turps to rotate at dummy instead of putting them at lock.

      Need fresh, crisp service from dummy if we're gonna stand a chance at gaining/ keeping momentum and need fresh legs for ruck defence.

      Only thing i worry about is warriors offload ability around the ruck.
      This is my preferred option as well. No use buying the cheese as a dummy half, expecting him to lose some weight to play longer minutes and then tossing back in at lock at the first injury interruption.

          you know what would be really good for player health? Removing tags. We should convert the white league to tag football to protect the players from contact.

          anyone who thinks tackling is ok doesn’t care about player health

            68% of concussions this year are on the defender. Even before the crack down on high tackles it was the tackler at higher risk of concussion...friend , keary cords. Now even more defenders are going to end up with concussions with no overall reduction in concussions. Front on tackling and going in low is fraught with potential head knocks.

              Spot on.

              the “tackling below the waist” rule being introduced in union over in the UK is going to sky rocket concussions. Nothing more sure to cause a head injury than poor low tackling form

                Radley is now so paranoid about tackling high after becoming the face of 2021’s two-week crackdown that he goes lower into tackles than he probably wants to and knocks himself out. I’m really worried about his career longevity now if he can’t find the sweet spot between aggression and effectiveness

                  He needs to find the sweet spot between the hip and the head!

                    We just aren’t getting any value out of Victor anymore. When was the last time he had a really good game and lasted the 80 minutes? I love me some Vic but let’s face it, he’s become a real liability.

                      Yes because he was built up to more than he is. The INFLICTOR tag did his tiny brain in. The guy has talent and courage, but he needs a good coach to get his head right. Another Robbo failure.

                        Perhaps he could watch a replay of Kaufusis tackling technique from last week

                          He should spend more time on his game and less on his T-shirt range (The Lip & I can take care of that). You do that stuff after you retire and not the week before you get walloped by Souths.

                          Shame because he was talking to my neighbour on the golf course about how he hasn't had a drink since the UK incident. One step forward, 2 steps back..it's going to be a bumpy ride..

                            Good call. Still love the Hutchinator

                              Some are saying it was a Souths supporter in a Roosters jumper starting trouble for next weeks game.

                                Egan to lock and Wong to 2nd row could be another option
