With them both being right footers, who would you play on the left, & therefore reducing their time to kick as a righty? Metcalf's kicking as our right side half was miles better than what we'd seen from him on the left in '23 & '24. If he was your choice then Boyd would play left & would be tackling on his non dominant shoulder. His favored right shoulder is weak enough as is

I thought there may have been the opportunity to run 6 players over 8 interchanges as opposed to using 4 of the 6 players on the bench only.

If we can only keep 1 Out of those 3 halves i prefer CHT for being youngish and solid and covering so many positions.
Regarding Healy I think it’s hard to have him on the bench unless Webby starts to rests Egan after 55-65 minutes. ….or maybe he can spell Clarke? I think best for the club is to start Healy whenever Egan is moderately banged up instead of totally banged up (ie every 2 of 3 ) games…
Really looking forward to March so I am less tempted to post speculative drivel.
Cmon PM .It's a very popular off-season past time on here. Fill your boots mate
Im trying to think of it like 24 were we all were confused why the younger players were on the bench or getting limited time. He played a few last year and Egan probably is best as the 50 minute hooker.
Lets he honest tho even march kick off will not stop the speculative drivel

As an amateur paleoanthropologist I must say that nickname is a winner. Good chance Egan misses games, Healy will get his shot i recon.

Yeah! Secured some mint sests at te kaha for the reverse cowgirls game!
They got us 2026-2029 as our premiership window
Think 27 is our best shot and try to maintain it after, this year’s grooming all the recruits and rookies for that, especially the backs
Linnane/Inch probably to take over a half and FB spot (2027), might extend Roger for another year to be wing/FB or its injury cover, he’s my FB this year if we are serious about doing something this year
Metcalf might take a while to regain his form
Egan/Healey/CHT will fight it out for 27, Healey’s still developing this year
Centres you can pick the 2 best out of Pompey/CNK/Ali/Berry, injuries stifles competition though
Mellars/AKP probably our wingers for 27, again will be handy to have Roger to start or as backup to bridge the juniors. Kali probably falling off
Fish/Barney in their final prime year and Gannon probably becomes a serious Walker player by then. We have insane second row stock and some will prop with Demi and Ford, and Clark and their juniors will be our leaders once our twin towers start to become JWH winding down
Probably our pack and Metcalf put us in aussie media’s contention. But I think it’s Linnane/Inch who are our top prospects in our weakest positions that Webby will be hoping one or both of them come off
I think we will only be serious this year if these 3 things haopen - Roger’s at the back and Taine as back up, forcing CNK to compete with the other 3 centres to enhance centre quality, and they’re mostly healthy, and Metcalf somehow regains his speed and confidence. Our pack’s probably gonna be peak with Fats debut and more EIT, Cape and Marata still around for experience and Laban’s just ready to win a Dally M with Leka and Demi

What a great report. I always thought Badger was ambivalent to us but jesus wept that's not good
