Pretty sad you can't pick your best option at 7 because Burton needs nursingHutcho has the better defensive kicking game, Sexton the better attacking kicking game....if that makes sense.
Hutcho being the more experienced player means he will start @ 7 as the club is continuing to baby Burton for yet another season. Hutcho is more likely to play the controlling role with less errors than say Sexton even if he brings a little more spark with the ball in hand.
How has no one got room for Skelton? He looked powerful and dangerous almost every time he touched the ball. I'd have him in instead of Kiraz, and Tracey at FB and maybe taffe on the bench. He can cover most backline positions. Xerri showed enough to get a run. Salmon wasn't bad at lock. The question is who do you leave out?Agree with all but I would have Tracey at FB and Xerri RC.
Salmon looked good tonight.
Wilson starting is good to see.I'm struggling to name one, probably start the year like this before looking to make a few changes. I'm not naming Burton, I refuse too lol.

In an ideal world id like him as #14, but that'll go to Kurt MannHow has no one got room for Skelton? He looked powerful and dangerous almost every time he touched the ball.

Exactly why I'd play him off the bench when a bit of fatigue sets in. Brings takle efficiency and is more likely ro have some decent runs once players start to gas out.Curran only had 23 run metres which is terrible. 34 tackles though which is good.
Glad you said it ...I love these threads.. The OP wants people to post YOUR team for Round 1, and then rips apart anyone else's team that he asked them to name..
No it's not and I agree with you.To be honest I don't mind what team we play as long as we show some fuckin resilience in defence and a win would be nice.... is that too much to ask?
Not being bottom 4 and reducing points against by 250-300 would be idealTo be honest I don't mind what team we play as long as we show some fuckin resilience in defence and a win would be nice.... is that too much to ask?
