What's all this talk of putting Phelps back into the centres and Bailey to the SR?
Don't we learn from past errors/mistakes? Phelps and Roberts were defensively very week, it just didn't work, we were leaking in tries before it was fixed by moving Bailey back to the centres. I don't rate Phelps as a centre one bit, was better on the wing, can't believe we bring in such Aussies from the other side of the world. Why fly him all the way out here?
Learn from mistakes and move on.
Additionally why not stick to giving one of the young lads a run in? Look how well it's worked with Ainscough and Tomkins. Since Phelps has been injured we've improved across the backs.
Give Mossop/Farrell/Flanny a go, you never know they might just prove to be worthy of being in the 17/19.
By doing this it sends out a good message to the young lads and the squad, letting them know hard work and playing well pays off. Don't put cr*p Aussies back in.
Speaking of Aussies it was a joy to see Timmy Smith and Amos hanging around King St in the early hours of Sunday morning. Look really affected by their recent drop from the team.
