I just said the exact same thing in another thread. Seems a bit illogical to say the least.

You were obviously watching a different game as burgess was poor hence why he's been dropped for the u20's and championship player Joseph has made the squad in front of him. Bulls can't have someone on the pitch who can't catch the ball or even keep hold of it

<<< What he said! Squad players have to be played

I didn't think Tom was particularly outstanding last week. He didn't do a great deal 'wrong', to be fair, though he just looks to have lost a little bit of the dynamism he showed at the end of last season, but in any case, Nas has to come into the rotation now he is fit. I'm sure Tom will be back.

mnm has played a number of games at 2nd row, which is an option for Potter with Elima Sibbit Olbison all out. and from the match bullseye it looks as if Potter is aiming to play it simpe and tight, so another reason for Tom to miss out apart from the burnout, joseph is no frills no errors. and I would rather tom was fresh to play against a must beat team and make a lot of ground for us.

Joseph is no frills, no errors, and most likely no yards.
