I’ll be honest, I don’t mind the line up for this week.
Luke Thompson, JJ and DWZ are big inclusions, Thompsons energy and aggression will give the guys a lift, JJ will be the work horse every team needs and DWZ will run for 150+ metres at FB.
It’s clear Allen wasn’t giving us much punch from the back so it’s either DWZ, Hoppa or a punt on Averillo. Why not give DWZ another crack at FB? If he can diffuse the aerial raids and gain some confidence, it should improve our field position with his custom charges.
Allen and Hoppa in the centre’s works for me with Cotric reverting back to a role that made him an Origin rep.
I don’t like Waddell and Napa in the 17, prefer Doorey and Chris Smith.
If Averillo does not command the ball, take his fair share of kicks and regularly takes the line on, he’s lost me for a halves spot in the team period.
