Just one of those things eh. If he went with
Lussick like some games in the past
Egan may have got injured and we'd be praising having a specialist dummy half on the bench.
There was a game earlier in the weekend. I am not 100% on which team it was. It may have been the Bulldogs and they had a few HIA's and were going to activate their 18th man. It was lucky the way it fell that they had a winger as the 18th man to fill an injury. The commentators were saying how critical replacing an outside back is. To me it happens to be luck each week on where you may suffer an injury.
Some weeks the experts will be harping on about covering halves, others middles. This week it was outside back/wingers.
Having someone that can slot in a few different positions is looking pretty critical.
