What they have done is replaced one old man with another.
Dean was sent out to Widnes to see how he shaped up playing against men rather than boys in the U21s. He's played both friendlies so far in the centre position, so he has been blooded in some respects. Tyrer was picked before him when both were in the squad earlier in the year, neither were going to shift Talau when he was fit.
I would hope that he would be picked there instead of Gilmour this year, though I don't expect him to play every match.
And I can't believe you're defending the selection of Phelps over Goulding tbh.
Oh, and both Meli and Flannery are very average IMO. In some respects I'd like to see someone like Foster given a go on the wing to get him game time in SL before moving him inside.
