Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3091565, member: 8423"] You are right and this is spot on. That said, no one forced Siebs to play Shibasaki off the bench or even in centres when he was very clearly out of his depth. Macca would have probably made more sense at halfback than Turpin as well since he actually has a good kick on him, something Turpin didn't really show, aside from one or two probably lucky ones. SOS also showed plenty in that half before getting injured, so much so that he should have got another shot when he returned. That said, it wasn't completely unbelievable that Siebs didn't go straight back to him. And I have said since Siebs signed, I am happy to give him two years, nothing has changed there. However, if he trots out Boyd at 6, Turps at 7 and Macca at 9 for round 1, I will have a few more reservations than I already do (and I have a few). This side may not have done much better than what was trotted out (pun intended) last year but it would have been worth a shot: 1. Milford 2. Oates 3. Staggs/Glenn 4. Boyd 5. Farnworth 6. SOS/Staggs/Paix 7. Macca 8. Lodge 9. Turpin 10. Haas 11. Fifita 12. Gillett 13. Carrigan 14. Segs 15. Flegler 16. Joffa 17. Anyone who wasn't suspended or injured out of the forwards at the time [/QUOTE]
