Does anyone know if Gill is actually in Melbourne with the squad?
Edit: Liam Gill is definitely in Melbourne with the squad.
get him on the field.

Surely it has to be
1. Sio
2. Moore
3. Kepu
4. Horwill or Carter
5. Arnold
6. Fardy
7. Hooper
8. McCalman
9. Phipps
10. Foley
11. Horne
12. Lilo
13. TK
14. DHP
15. Folau
16. TPN
17. Slipper
18. Holmes
19. Skelton
20. Gill
21. Frisby
22. To'omua
23. Kerevi
The only contentious decision is Horwill vs Carter and I think there isn't a clear winner either way. Both call and jump in lineouts competently but not as good as simmo (though Horwill has the recent experience dealing with the Saracens boys Kruis and Itoje in that space). Horwill possibly has been recognised as stronger scrummager but Carter is very used to packing with Arnold, Moore and Sio in a strong brums scrum this season. Both can be relied on to tackle their hearts out. Both carry ok but not great (carter's poor hands and Horwills lack of speed are issues).
I think it would make good sense for us to have a bruiser on the bench, my preference would be to use Skelton in this role rather than Palu so we can include Gill's on ball presence on the bench while not needing to continue with the 6/2 bench. That said I think it's unlikely so we probably will see Palu or McMahon on the bench with Mumm there as well.
So who kicks goals, Lilo or Foley? They are both pretty bad.
Can we get Farrell to kick ours as well?
Problem solved.
Our execution was poor.
Yes, it certainly was. We made many mistakes, and some of them were howlers. Not least Falau, Foley and Kerevi's ballet-on-LSD that resulted in Jonathon Joseph's gift try. Gah. That's schoolboy stuff.
IMO Lilo. 58% compared to 51% for Foley. Granted both are shit but I'll take Lilo because he is less shit
51% and 58%? Isn't Lilo on 76.6% and Foley 74.5% this year?
Edit: I see No4918 has already said it.

There would seem to be a bug there. Foley's 38 / 51 and Lilo's 49 / 64 this year. If you go here you can look at every kick. It's supposed to be accurate. http://goalkickers.co.zaAccording to fox sports stats
