Hmmm. To quote Gus, "No, no, no, no, no".
Burton played his best game in ages at #6. He is a weapon if we can get him firing.
So, they won't move him this week, nor should they.
Taffe was again underwhelming at the back. I'd be inclined to give him one more week to show something, but if Addo-Carr is available then I would make the call now and replace the fullback. Taffe is bottom of this list of the current 1-7, so he'll have to make way for Addo-Carr.
If that happens, I'd go with Tracey (if he's match fit for #1). I am not against Crichton going to Fullback, but he, Burton, & Kikau showed something and that should be given time to develop. We might not need to lose the game's premier centre to plug a deficiency elsewhere if Tracey succeeds in the role. Furthermore, if Tracey can add more from the back, he might even further enhance that left side (and right side for that matter).
He'll be on the same mission as Taffe. Given 3-5 rounds to own the Fullback spot, or hand over to Crichton (after the bye), or possibly even Papalii if he develops enough in NSW Cup by then.
Taffe goes to reggies unfortunately, and probably plays #6 there.
No other changes for now, however Sexton did okay in NSW Cup (from reports - haven't seen the game), so Hutchison is on notice and needs to step it up over the next 2-3 rounds.
When it settles, I can see the 1-7 being: Tracey, Wilson, Kiraz, Crichton, Addo-Carr, Burton, Sexton (with Xerri & Skelton fighting for spots to cover form & injury). And Hutchison & Taffe in the reggies halves building their cases for recall.
