Best has always been on the left. He will be up against Critta.

Not sure what Xerri’s contract situation is, but with the Roosters losing two gun centres at the s of 2024, they could come after Xerri with a big offer, if we are off our game in Administration.

I agree, but Walker is not at the same level now. Playing for a bottom team doesn’t help. He gets criticised a lot for going missing when his team is behind, and it is justified

When you have too many options it's just as easy to get selections wrong instead of right.

Teddy hogs the ball a lot, trying to use his dancing feet in the middle of the ruck,well before the opposing forwards have tired. Need something different at #1.

To be honest, I think Cody Walker is performing like a player who has played one season too many.

That was a good case for a PenaltyTry. I just want to make the point that the referee can either award a Pemalty Try or put the offender in the sin bin, but not both, from the one incident.

Yes.

You can bet houses it would have been a penalty if it was Man U playing at Old Rrafford, or Harry Kane playing for Spurs.

I have felt for a while that Manu is a better fullback than Tedesco.
