Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2088197, member: 1764"] :shock: OK, now I'm as big a fan of the K. Hunt as any bloke, but to say he's in better FORM than Slater is laughable. Ditto Bowen and Gidley. Bowen is positively woeful at the moment, probably because of the niggling knee injury that's kept him out this week. Slater is the form fullback in the competition, without a shadow of a doubt. Doesn't mean he's a better player than the others, because each of them have different things they're good at/not good at. And one thing to consider is that at Test level it's hard to play yourself out of the jersey. At the moment, Stewart and Hunt are the incumbent Test fullbacks and there would have to be compelling reasons why one of them shouldn't get the number 1 maroon and blue jersey (they're not wearing green and gold for this test). And before anyone says it, Slater's form isn't a compelling reason to say that Hunt and Stewart can't do the job. That another player could do it better is often irrelevant in Test selections. People can whinge about it all they like, but form isn't the sole criteria for selection. [/QUOTE]
