Hutchison and Paulo last time they played together got absolutely towelled up. Who is on that side for the Cows? Could be yet another bloodbath...

If Walker doesn’t play on the weekend then I honestly can’t see how he plays again this season (short of a devastating injury toll)

[zac]

what a great bench.
early in the week so team could be as named or smith in for hutch or walker into the halves and joey into the centres

[tloos1999]

If that’s the final backline, I look forward to watching some shows I’ve been meaning to catch up on, whilst the game is on. I understand he wants to be stubborn with Manu and Keary, and that’s fine. But please, pick anyone, literally anyone, and they’ll do a better job than Hutchison will on that right edge. I will strongly consider trading Holmes back into my SuperCoach team, just for this game, because if it’s him v slowpoke, he’ll break a scoring record.

[Tommy Smith]

If we line up that way on Sunday I'd totally understand if Sammy Walker asks for a release next week.

Surely Manu at centre and Walker at halfback is a better call than Manu at 6 and Hutch at centre...

Do a better job of playing with each other than together

[RoosterBooster]

What frustrates me is it must be very demotivating as a reserve grade centre centre to see Hutchinson picked in front of you. It says that Robbo trusts a utility / second rower more than a specialized centre. Where this trusts comes from I don’t understand as he got schooled against Melbourne last time he started at centre

Agreed, Hutch will struggle to match Val’s agility. I’m hoping this is ducks and drakes.

why all the aggro about Hutch? This is the guy who stepped up during covid and was instrumental in getting us to the finals. can kick, can defend, and can pass!

And they say we rort the salary cap!.....anyway, GO TEAM!!

Maybe Hutch and Joey will swap positions. Other than that I really don't get it. The extended bench indicates there will be a late change with any of Smith / Katoa or Walker ending up in the backs. I hope.

The Hutchinator slowest centre ever

Because he's not a centre and because last time he played centre he let like 3 in.
