Maybe a week's rest so that exact thing doesn't happen?

Mind games.

You think our coach has the luxury of resting his best defender in a must win game?

This should be a good contest I have to say though with my Wakey goggles on there will only be one winner here and it aint Manu.

Frankiew is turning into an awesome player pity for HKR he didnt have the Aussie twang!!!!

Maybe a slight knock and decided against playing him whilst injured?

One of the reasons they didn't keep frankie was because of Mason. He must be ing himself!

Only people who are getting fooled are the fans

Not a luxury, Fitz's body is shot, his shoulder op lat year didnt work and he needs same doing again

That why he offered to retire in April

We know a song about that.

But he still played in the exiles game?

Phelps FB, Whiting replaces Lyne on wing.

Was a TIC reference to the discussions around where Westerman played last week actually.

The thing is though,you could actually see Agar putting Tickle or Rdders at 13.

Tickle has played plenty of time at 13 this season, and I think he'll play there next season - similar to the role Paul Gallen plays.

So why did we sign westerman then?

Referee James Child. Bookies now quoting evens for both teams

??? Ask Agar.

He's doing a pretty good job at the moment at SR to be fair.

Yes he is but why play a 2nd rower at 13 next season when we have got a 13.

Ask Agar...no thanks,dont want to be bored to death.

Because Agar doesn't want to use the 13 position as a pivot, he wants it was a third, more mobile, prop. Danny Tickle in the way he plays fits the 'mobile prop' description perfectly. Having Westerman at 2nd row attacking the flanks is alot more dangerous.

I'm not saying that would be my preferred line up, but that's how it's going to be and I don't have that much of a problem with it.
