In fairness, he wasn't picked last week, but we've lost Flanagan since then.

I mean, why start with him?

Well,he's reasonably heavy and a good defender. Maybe the strategy is for him to use his energy to soak up the early barrage and then replace him with someone with impact?

Have you seen his stats this season? He's not doing anything at all.

He's a waste of space and he's not pulling his weight.

I was just hypothesysing. I'd have Dangerous Dicko in forrnt of him all week at the moment.

Is Wheeler playing?

Bench

Back on the bench, Meli and Shenton to start in the centres.

Cheers. Baffles me that we can keep arguably our most creative player sat on the bench. Still, I don't get paid to make these decisions.

absolutely shambolic decision to play Meli over Wheeler in the centres.
