Dropping Waite was harsh given the delivery and supply...there was none of either. If we wanted to change things with regard to Waite then I would have played him at CHB and let Henderson and Casboult play forward for the future.
Bell was a bit unlucky given the quarter he played was ok but he hasnt been using the ball well and has to learn or be moved on.
Lucas...another deckchair on the Titanic being shuffled...
Scotland.....well he does use the ball well and provides some leadership...
But he tore it up in the back line last year and we all said thats where he belongs. Whats changed?
I would have done the same with Waite. Thought he played some pretty good football at CHB and provides a bit of run.
We have a team of turnover merchants. Bells needs to learn to play within his limitations. But he is not Robinson Crusoe.
I would push Walker forward. He is a liability by foot in the back half.
Agree on Walker.....he gets frustrated down back and loses his cool, he was a 50 goal forward for us under Ratten and given we struggle to kick goals its a no brainer IMO.
