Exhibition Match: Northern Blues vs U18's

[cookie2]

The blokes currently in our back half, including Simon White, are performing very well.  The more they play together, the better they will work as a defensive unit and that's particularly important for Williamson, Macreadie and Marchbank.  I wouldn't 'rest' any of them but I wouldn't mind Jones being given an opportunity if a vacancy comes up.

I'd like to see Jones succeed but I think the die is cast and his spot on the list is earmarked for someone else.  There's only one person who can change that by playing out of his skin in whatever position and/or team he's named.

Hopefully then he will be given the opportunity to play in defence more in the NBs before any decision is made as to his future with us. I think his goose is probably well cooked as a forward now as he's had plenty of chances there.
