Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3194603, member: 1847"] The main problem as I see it is we have the worst roster Origin I have ever seen, and I also wonder if Bennett's conservatism also contributed to last night's total debacle. NSW have top class in every position. We have no real class in the backs bar Munster, Gagai and Brimson, and DCE only if at his absolute best which he wasn't last night, but then he didn't have a decent 5/8 to pair with. Holmes is a plodder in attack at FB and for mine, always has been. He's a winger. That's it. Brinson's loss was telling. Our kick returns from the back were [B]appalling[/B]. 8m from Holmes vs hundreds from Teddy. Sami and Coates were average and not Origin level, we have NO true centres let alone quality - Gagai is not too bad but is for mine a winger. Friend is a liability when opposing Cook in a NSW game plan which exploits our lack of speed and agility in the middle. Without Grant, we are no threat in the middle, especially without Munster. Allen just has to be in the side, although our lack of quality in the centres is an enormous negative. Playing Capewell there is stupid and that was exposed last night. His only position is back row. I'd rather Tino in the centres than Capewell who I reckon would be good in the back row If Bennett persists with the same side we get flogged by 20+ next week. I'd pick: Brimson if fit or Allan at the back Lee and Holmes on the wing Allan and Gagai in the centres Grant at dummy half with Hunt at 14 The rest of the forwards for mine are good enough, provided we have drive from our halves and make metres from the back.
