It’s hard to change a winning side…but do we change the bench a bit at all to help battle out there forward pack ?
Twal is a possibility

Don’t see a use for Brooks if I’m honest, swap Twal with Huth, Huth goes back to the bench and Brooksy misses out altogether

But ultimately I think madge will swap Twal with McQueen

Twal for McQueen.

Twal lock Eiso bench, or vice versa. McQueen goooone. No other changes needed

Would definitely be punting McQueen before Brooks.

We need a sacrificial lamb in the team. Someone who we don’t mind losing to suspension for taking off the heads of Judas 1/Judas 2.

Agreed. Twal for McQueen is the only change we will/should make.

Spot on. That’s a solid looking team. If we can by years end sign a left winger to allow Talau to move to centre, get BJ back, Brooks based on form comes back in at 6 and use Mbye as a 14 we could cause some damage.

Packer playing like last week is a game changer.
Exactly what we needed. I can live with the bad contract if he aims up he’s a mean hombre.

Contract is not so bad if packer aims up like last week. He looked like he was having fun

brookes in full back

I’d go with that too, Willow.

After been out for a few weeks twal needs to come of the bench , not sure if we need four forwards on the bench or go with 3 and brooks , brooks with his pace could be very good against a big pack late in the game .
