This is going to sound harsh but with the form that Wade's been in this year, do we really miss much when he's out?

I dunno about dropping Capewell, the way HIA is these days and with someone like Dugan known for not finishing games, having nobody that can cover our backline on the bench is a worry to me.

I think having a straight running "normal" style back rower actually helped Moylan's game against Penrith. I think it is a bit an an adjustment for halves to play with Wade rather than just a guy who runs hard and straight every time.

bukuya is a massive in for us. he was in killer form before he got injured. looking forward to seeing him back. and well done to Sorensen on once again getting a start.

interested to see how he backs up his performance from last week.

With Sorensen's pace off the mark and his lateral movement I can't see why he couldn't do as good a job as emergency backup for the backs as Capewell can.

The chuck a 2nd rower without experience at least in the centres just doesn't really work any more. Teams that have been forced to do it lately (Eg bulldogs with Jackson) just get destroyed on that edge.

Anyways Sorensen is pretty mobile I'm sure he'd do alright.

Yeah I tend to agree.

Who said to chuck him in the centres? You were worried that we'd have no cover for the backs, he'd only slot in if there was an injury. Capewell shouldn't be selected as a start up centre in our squad either.

was thinking also Sorensen could even do a job at hooker if required. watched him pass a few times last week and he seems to have a decent pass on him.

I was referring to chucking him in centre if there was an injury. Why on earth would I have mentioned Josh Jackson who has never started centre in his life?

Quick to bite at people but too ****ing stupid to read what they are writing.
