i love Inman (not as mach as Daz) but think he has reached a peak. Clearly TT is besotted by big units, winning the collisions. But you don't have to be big to be a good tackler or smart in defence (witness Ellison and Giteau at the RWC), and if you have sufficient skills the player can avoid the collision. I suspect Hodge will be the next 12, but who plays outside him will be a guess.
That's a fun pairing. Tuipolutu's going to have to get either bigger or stronger to play 12 though, was getting bossed at the breakdown. And in fairness to Inman, who's been copping it a bit, he's basically an extra flanker there - regularly gets through just as much work as McMahon and Reid.
Obviously more needs to be done to support Debreczeni, and to get the attack going, but what's the cost going to be?
Rebels have one of the best back rows in the comp. They don't need an extra flanker taking up space at 12 who can't do his core duties
No one does as much as Daz.i love Inman (not as mach as Daz) but think he has reached a peak. Clearly TT is besotted by big units, winning the collisions.

Yes and no. It's a backrow that does some things really well, but others not so much.
McMahon and Reid are a great pair of thumpers, but neither of them are much chop at the breakdown - Colby has been missed more badly than I would have thought. To balance this out Inman and Ellison, Inman in particular, are being asked to put in a shitload of ruck work. I wonder if this has contributed somewhat to the lowered effectiveness of Inman's carrying this year? If Inman gets replaced at 12, Colby is going to have to start. But then you lose the physicality Reid brings.
Not with Timani and Jones in the 2nd row. Need at least one genuine lineout player in the Backrow.
McGahan doesn't care about height.

He's never actually started a game with three opensides has he? You'd be completely sacrificing the lineout, which is struggling enough as it is.
Had a ripper against the Sunwolves
But crucial turnovers they be.In what way? Had two turn overs, nothing else standing out statwise.
Apparently he found his girlfriend's lost dog, but I can't back that up.Anything else he's done this season?
