Smith has shown in one game that he is a better fullback then BJB. Why change Hall for the next game after having a good game? Backs I would have is:
fb: Hall W: Johnstone C: Tupou C: Lyne/Walton W: BJB
Arundel doesn't offer anything in attack although solid in defence.

3 rounds in and unless changes are needed (poor form & injuries) I think we should try and stick with the same team as much as possible. However since this is a forum I'd like to throw this into the mix, people are on about moving Lyne into the centres to accommodate for Hall to slot in at fullback and BJB on the wing, I think that if it did come round, BJB should be tried out at centre as he certainly has the ability to play there and would also be involved a lot more in general play. He has the ability to put away his winger and also understand when to pass to him to give him the best opportunity possible of making a break or putting away for a try as he has played on the wing most of his professional career and probably knows when he prefers to have the ball,etc. He is also decent in defence I believe and has played with some really quality centres through out his career. So if the conundrum did arise than I would like to see this back line. Hall Johnstone BJB Arundal Lyne

Actually, he mentioned nothing to do with any of the players mentioned in this thread. Whereas I was talking and giving reasons why I thought what I did. No logic - no rational response whatsoever.
However, your reaction says a lot about what you value on this forum. A bizarre response from what I imagine to be fully grown adults - one being a moderator too.
It seems we may as well not talk about team selection, because Brian Smith picks the team. May as well delete the forum if that's going to be the level of rational discussion and response. mickey poor.

Loving the over-reaction. I will see if the powers that be want to delete the forum, at your recommendation - of course.

Judging by your childish response to this your hardly in a position to lecture anybody about adulthood, You picked a three quarter line somebody did not agree with you, you then took umbridge as his opinion differed to yours, then went on to criticise him for doing so contradicting what you'd already been preaching, because I respect people right to an opinion although not always agreeing with them I tried to politely point this out to you which you obviously didn't agree with, ditch the self pity lad and don't take it personally when others don't agree with you.

So anyway,
I've changed my mind on Hall and Johnstone. I was one who said they probably shouldn't be together but after Johnstone's last couple of games and Hall's comeback I think it could be a really good attacking weapon for us. I can't say BJB has really hit his stride yet at full back, without actually doing too much wrong. Although Hall had a good game at full back, I'd still like to see him at centre and BJB at full back to see how they all go together.
Other centre is a dilemma as Gibson was the new signing but Arundal, though not flash, is the one consistent player who is decent in defence and doesn't make mistakes (though I haven't checked the stats to prove that)

I've checked the stats for you and on RugbyLeague.com Arundle has missed 6 tackles. I seem to think it is more, maybe because I notice his missed tackles more due to his positioning on the pitch.
The most missed tackles is by England who has missed 13, yet he has also made the most tackles with 145.
I'm glad that I am not a coach as I would get so confused in the stats I wouldn't know where to focus players for improvement or starting line ups.
