Really hope Lewis plays this week. I'd have him off the bench though, Bukuya has been strong early IMO.
I think he'll drop Val and play Gagan wanting more size to help the forwards. And Gagan is a personal project of Flanno's.

Rothfield also thinks the Barba to FB, Bird to 5/8 rumour will eventuate if that means anything at all.

Flanno is a desperate man if doing this after two rounds. I doubt it eventuates.

Yeah he played Juniors there I think. But doesn't mean he's a first grade 5/8.

Since when did people start even thinking the Lurker's predictions are true. He now has a worse track record than Dosit.

It would make sense to drop Barba back and put wade into 6 - Wade has the best boot at the club.

It also makes sense to put Bird on the bench and use him on the fringes when the forwards are tired.

It does not make sense to debut him at 6 when he has not played there years.

Unless Barba took him aside and asked whether he could switch.

I still don't think it will happen but if it does happen I'd have a hunch that this was the reason.

I actually think Bird's best spot would be 6.

Played most of his junior footy there.

Eventually he could - would you debut him there though with only training a few days in 6?

Against melbourne as well. Its risky. Although we really have nothing to lose, we are gonna get pumped regardless.

Hopefully Gagan comes back in this week.
Also hope Lewis doesn't return straight into the starting side, it's a bit unfair, he hasn't played since Origin 2014.
