Wright is the more finished player at the moment by some way IMHO

Yep, great pace, good kick, playing well - he is the best we have His likely selection makes the back 3 selection interesting, with Izzy we needed that good kicker to add balance, with Banks that is less important and line break ability may be more useful

It would be nice to find, one of his key strengths for the team was consistently getting through that first tackle on providing forward momentum on kick return I don't think he can do that as he isn't great in contact - at the moment Banks is the best we have, our most complete and...

"Bell's management" mmmm .....

Part of the solution

I still remember Wayne Bennett moving on Wally Lewis as an organisation making those hard decisions

The challenge with that squad was that it was so top heavy, that meant recruitment was mediocre for the replacements with the cash going to the "1sts" and squaddies just not getting game time cheika is the king of the short term

Interesting 10 analysis

You, don't automatically get the consistent bit in test rugby without enough form to justify it, he got a good run last season
