The Ghost of Raelene

David Codey (61)
I reckon playing him at 12 would encourage him to indulge his negative instincts/overplay his hand.
Again, I think we need to be willing to go a bit rogue.

Schmidt trying to build something so I get it's probably never going to enter his intelligent mind but I'd like to see it. 9,10,13 track for short ball after he beats the opposition 12 with footwork...

I don't know what moving Wright to 12 would really achieve other than expose his defense even more than we see already.

He isn't a crash baller, he's best running with space, we'd lose his kick return threat and I think he's doing a pretty good job of injecting himself into the backline, often at first receiver, when there's a reasonable chance of making an impact.

It would seem that their respective form in recent weeks… months… suggests otherwise.
Slim, I am always a bit mystifed by people wanting the change the best (backline or forward) player in a particular team with one who is struggling to hold his own position. Happily, few coaches take notice. Tom Wright owns the fullback spot at the present time, and is only improving with more game time. Some people just need to accept that fact.

Luckily, Tom has a habit of doing that from the fullback spot.

Agree but Gordon is reported starting with Tate on the bench

We just need to settle on a halves combo

Yeah seems Gordon and Lolesio are his preferred options. Donaldson as cover and Tate off the bench.

I could be sleep deprived but I’m sure Doran originally reported Koroibete being dropped, but he’s actually injured:

The Roar can reveal the 32-year-old Japan-based winger picked up a wrist injury during his shocker under the Sydney sun at the Olympic Stadium, with Dylan Pietsch in line to start for the first time. It’s believed Koroibete didn’t report the injury until days after the Test.


Yes, it’s still there in the url.

Jorgensen has apparently returned to Australia, still not over illness picked up in Argentina. Darby Lancaster has replace him in the squad. He's not expected to make the 23 though with Flook tipped for the bench spot.

Saw that Wobs are paying $7 on tab.co.nz so thought I'd compare with sportsbet.com.au & fuck me they're paying $13! Haven't looked at the margin options but some of them have gotta be tasty given that H2H.

Unfortunate news about Jorgensen, especially since he’s such a promising player. It’s a shame that illness from the Argentina trip is still affecting him. Darby Lancaster stepping in is a good call for cover, but it makes sense that Flook is likely to take the bench spot given his recent form. Hopefully, Jorgensen can recover soon and get back into the mix—he's got a bright future ahead!
Cover… there is only one more game….???

I assume that’s code for tackle bag holder. In fairness it’s likely more for the opposed sessions, which are probably kinda important.
It would also be in case an outside back has to withdraw at late notice - arguably more important.

The line on sportsbet opened at 20.5 point on monday. By tuesday it dropped to 17.5 and its back up to 18.5 as of right now. Suggests punters liked australia at the initial line and its leveled out at 18.5. Half time line has been oscillating between 8.5 and 9.5. After last week you'd have to think NZ to cover the line at half time is worth a few quid
