[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 682517, member: 12207"] It's a fair question. I'm a Roosters fan, and whilst he does some incredible stuff I honestly reckon it's absolutely bizarre he starts ahead of McDonald, who has been better every time he's had to step in for Tupou. That said, he'd have been better as a back up FB than Walker was simply because he's much better under the high ball and breaks more tackles, but he can also be a space cadet and is capable of becoming invisible. On the game - Australia were massively undermanned, but I still thought we'd win to be honest, and the team was looking alright until half-time. Then it became clear that both GI and DCE were gone... Now, the injury toll is pretty ridiculous as it is, but losing both DCE and Inglis before HT was the coup de grace. Walker was way out of his depth, but I don't get why they didn't move Tupou to FB instead - he's so much more suited to that position. I also don't get why we don't have a single recognised prop and how Boyd Cordiner wasn't named in that team given he's been one of the best forwards in the NRL for the past 2 years. There really were some odd selections, and I dare say that there was a better 3rd string side available than the one put on the park. [/QUOTE]
