Quote ="lefty goldblatt"ATM, it's still only a squad.
I wouldn't put it past McBanana to go back in time, where we play our first choice loose forward (i.e. O'Loughlin) at stand-off, and bring in another player to actually play loose forward, which is what we did in the Ashes series in 97, 01, 03 etc. He'll want extra tacklers on the pitch, with "flair" being sacrificed'"
Same problem all the time.
In 97 we had Farrell in the halves when we could have won if we'd had Tony Smith or Tommy Martyn
In 01 we had Sculthorpe there when we could have won if we'd had Horne/Cooke/Orr
In 03 we had Sculthorpe again when we could have won if we'd had Briers/Thorman/Rooney
In 13 we had Sinfield in the halves when we could have won yesterday if we'd had Chase
