Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3354033, member: 9853"] I would've have agreed with you before the trials started, but it's become obvious over the last two weeks that he's the closest to a fully formed five-eighth/dummy half we have, and Mam is the closest to the kind of half we deserve. I don't think he'd get anywhere near the blowback we expected if he named him as starting half now. Paix and Mam did something we badly need - burrow across the line and put points on the board. That's what Alfie would've done. It's what Berrigan would've done. It's what our spine's been lacking. I wasn't impressed with Paix last week and wasn't that impressed with him last night. But he brought something Jake didn't in attack, so he's gone from being ruled out last week, to waved back in. If Kevvie wants to play safe he'll start with Jake, Albert/Tyson and Billy on the bench. Within a few weeks he'll cave to calls for Billy to replace one of the former. I'm changing my round one lineup to: 1. Jamayne 2. Selwyn 3. Herbie 4. Kotoni 5. Jordan 6. Ezra 7. Adam 8. Payne 9. Jake 10. Pat 11. Riki 12. Kurt. 13. Kobe 14. Billy 15. TC etc That'll feed Patty, Herbie, Jake and Jamayne to the wolves, and birth Ezra in fire. Swim or sink. Shake the bottle, and see what sticks to the sides. [/QUOTE]
