Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2981143, member: 1899"] If Matt Lodge can keep his nose clean and continue to improve as he did throughout 2018, he'll be there. The other guy who I think is capable, but needs a big off-season is Junior Paulo. Paulo was one of the best front row forwards in the game in 2016 and one of the most fearsome ball carriers in the game. If he can get back to that kind of form, he'd have to be considered for the rotation. I don't share the concern with our current middle forwards. The problem with Australia is that they had 31% of the football in the first half and the Kiwis were just better drilled with the football. The forwards struggled somewhat early in the second half, but I'd put that down to a poor bench rotation than anything else. The Kangaroos needed more size on the paddock and having Woods, Trbojevic and Frizell all in the middle at the same time prevented Australia from making the inroads they needed. Granted if Australia put in another poor performance, I can see the likes of McLean & Woods coming under heavy fire. Klemmer will retain his place because he's the best meat and potatoes prop in the game. [/QUOTE]
