Yeah agree.
The bench spot is what I’m predicting Pay will go with but dudes like Tualau and Martin deserve a shot now
If Tolman is being touted as VC does that mean he’s starting?
Tolman should play off the bench, his experience will be valuable when some of our less experienced blokes come on with him. His workrate can't be questioned but hopefully he plays with more intensity and carries a bit more size this season.
Even though i'm a fan of Martin, i just can't find a spot for him or any other 2nd rower in this team. I don't think a 2nd rower on the bench is required unless they will play through the middle, even then i'd rather 3 middle forwards as Elliott can cover the edge and run with Brown as a utility.
It's all up to Pay in the end and how he wants certain positions to be played and what role the bench plays, but from all the leaks i think it's fairly obvious what style of footy Pay wants to play. Still a little disappointed that Frawley is in our best 13, i think he's shit lol. I guess he's probably the best kicking option but other than that he doesn't offer much.
