Yet LOB gets picked after showing zilch form in the 2s....even Polson should get a gig ahead of LOB - on merit.

I would have thought Kennedy should be ahead of Setters in thew pecking order and He (MK) would the obvious replacement for Crippa to allow our Captain to rotate forward from time to time....clearly the MC hasn't agreed prior top today  :-[ :

I think Kennedys extended time in the 2's could be put down to weathering the folau/twitter scandal.

Fasolo is the emergency not lining up for the NBs.

You can't control everything, injuries/illness, dodgy umpiring, even dodgier MRO decisions, but we need to start controlling what we can control, and that is effort. It actually should be one of the easiest variables to control. You either give it 100% or you play NB's. I'm going to the game today, and I want to see 100% effort from all players for the entire game, if not then I'm not going to be happy

Fair call Jack.

Fair call Jack.

Indeed. If someones doesn't put the effort in - or is playing poorly - they should be dropped.

Young Curnow is one who should be playing 2s presently....

I've heard this many a time, and while that is correct in an ideal world people are overlooking the obvious.

We haven't got 22 players on our list who are consistently putting effort in, thus, some who deserve to get dropped continue to be picked.

I suspect that it played a part; the club may have wanted to protect the young man from booing.  The Aints fan will probably give it a halfhearted go today though.

You keep repeating this like it’s some sort of fact.
I’m not sure if lack of effort is correct, he doesn’t seem to be getting much reward I’ll agree with you on that.
