Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2651657, member: 1899"] Defence is the only reason to play Reed infront of Copley. I don't think Dale is bad in that department but Reed is certainly a safer option and given some of the choices Bennett is making, it may compliment the team better. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Dale Copley is not a winger. But then again, neither is Lachlan Maranta and I'd go as far to say Lachlan Maranta isn't first grade standard. I think the only person who thought so was Anthony Griffin which is why he decided to back him so much in 2013 despite it being glaringly obvious that he wasn't up to it. That isn't to knock the guy, he's certainly somebody who can come in and do a job but if you're expecting him to do a job week in week out then you're going to have problems. Copley isn't an ideal choice but then the Broncos backline depth is very poor right now. Copley gets the nod because he at least knows how to finish a try and can be handy getting the ball out of trouble. As for the bench, to me it's so obvious that the best line-up would see Mitchell Dodds/Mitchell Garbutt come in for Kodi Nikorima that it hurts. [/QUOTE]
