Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2656700, member: 8215"] I'm probably the only one who doesn't hate the Whitchurch selection. For once the majority of our forwards are playing in their best positions (and I include McGuire & Blair in there), meaning two props & one second rower on the bench is sufficient. I'd be very concerned at having a Nikorima at hooker defensively. I can see the upside in attack, but again, for this particular game, he'd be a stain on the jersey of a Burgess twin. If Bennett does in fact run with Whitchurch, I believe it will be purely for testing purposes. I recall him being similar to Maranta, though debuting a little earlier, and just like Maranta he looked comfortable right from his debut but just never improved. Between Hodges, Kahu & Copley, there is a fair history of season-ending injuries, having someone of definite talent but poor NRL development on the bench makes more sense than sending him back to Q-Cup and never getting answers about his ability to cut it at top level. As for Vidot, I think he'd be better ripping & tearing for decent minutes on a weekend, hungry for more NRL, and staying on the boil, than warming the bench. This is not a Yay Bennett Is So Smart apologist session, it's just my interpretation of what Wayne might [I]possibly[/I] be doing. [/QUOTE]
