Stewart is the conundrum. I have rarely liked him as starting 10 but he is proving to be one of our best in the back line. Putting him at out centre is weird, but after the last game I think it’s not so silly. Though his kicking (still needing plenty of improvement in play) is better than some other 15 options. And he won’t be in the centres when Petaia returns. 13 is a very interesting idea, but I’d keep him at 15 with a roving role to the wide second receiver and to move to 10 for the last 20 min.
Stewart is a genuine puzzle, he must start, but where, and what position should he settle into?
Let Lucas come off the bench. To 15. Hegarty stays at 10.
Another onundrum is CFS. His attack was genuinely good and he made a couple of stand out tackles, but his positional play out wide in D has to get better. There could be structural issues here not of his own making, coaching needs to look at it.
