Or is he just the most expendable

The interesting scenario for me is if they play Horse on the EDG again until Whitehead is back, would be great for Smithies to retain his current big minute role.

When they have Hosking now? No way

Hosking is out when Whitehead is back anyway, might as well give the Horse a good gallop for 80 minutes.

I was at work but I’ve just got home I am just eating dinner and spat out out in laughter. I rarely get the Souths stuff wrong. The guy with the training update is a guy I’ve spoke with at games several times too he nails it.

So answer me this if JD said pre season that we could push Murray out to an edge if needed at times and play Tallis through the middle why are we shocked about it?….. it’s JD too we are talking about often his team selections make no sense. Duncan has never played edge before did not spend a minute there in pre season why will that change now? Murray edge has been floated around too as a way to ease his workload just a bit too given he’s so bashed up already his shoulders are fucked from being battered in the middle and he’s only 25 years old. Murray is also bloody great on the edge and Tallis is a gun.

Secondly coaches what they name is not always how they run out sometimes they play mind games. Souths often last year didn’t run out how they were named on the Tuesday.

Thirdly if Murray was training right edge the whole session today 2 days out from the game what does that tell you and the fact Duncan and Havili were in the middle alternating?

MattNZ is right too on what he said at 45-50mins at lock Duncan is a wait a week and watch thing. I expect Murray and Keaon to play 80mins and there is 4 middles on the bench. I can’t see Duncan getting 55-60mins intially no way it’s a long year too.



Anyway people don’t fume when Duncan is not playing big mins on the edge come Thursday and don’t be angry if Havili comes on for him around 24mins into the game.



Aside from this I’m seeing a lot of panic. People overreacting and rage trading and forgetting it’s a marathon and not a sprint. You know what I think I might just hold both trades this week.
