I love Skelton's potential and want to see him get a run in the last four games but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses a bunch of tackles and is targeted in defence when he plays. In attack, he's a wrecking ball. In defence he still has a lot of work to do.
So put him in now to give him a taste before a full preseason next year.

IIRC he hasn't really been tested in reserves in the games I've seen.

This is why, as much as I would like to see Skelton next to JAC, we should give him a crack at right centre.
Burns is being targeted every week and at the very least, even if Skelton's defence is just as bad he is a physically imposing player

Burns to feed Fox and Skelton and Kiraz to work together down the right.

If Burns cant handle left...right out.

Def not to throw Skelton into forwards yet.

Did they play Mal Meninga in the 2ndrow? No.

I like Burns but I would rather Schoupp honestly. You can't have a defender getting pulled apart and back peddling and add a question mark in Skelton. At least Schoupp has some mongrel and gets up in their face in defence.

gus said on twitter he will get a chance at some stage. Wouldnt be surprised if he plays this week with the short turn around from the bench.

I dont see long term spot for Burns. Hot and cold but Schoup needs to find a pass to our Kangaroo winger otherwise Burns could get the spot.

I'm optimistic. Burns was carrying a shoulder injury so he should be rested as he struggles in d even with healthy shoulders
