[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1006419, member: 73144"] Who knows whether Jones considers this the strongest possible team he could put out or if he’s experimenting a bit. Anyhow.... Can’t argue will Hill being given a chance. Only real irritant in the pack is Binny who’s been living off reputation for too long (regular readers may recall me mentioning that once or twice before.....but he really shouldn’t have a sinecure). Half backs not worth discussing as they were never going to be anyone else. Disappointed with Slade at 12. On paper he seems perfect but I’ve never really seen him go consistently well at 12, he always looks better at 13 to me. At least he and Manu in their very different ways could interchange positions as the need arose. That’s less likely with Joseph. Speaking of Joseph he’s solid enough but the not the consistent game changer he threatened to be a while back. Can’t argue with the wings. Furbank is a 24 carat head scratcher Bench is fine - will be interesting to see how Lawrence and Thorley go and I think Dunn is a bit underrated. Willis will hopefully get to start some of the later games, likewise Coka who I don’t think is fully up to speed yet. [/QUOTE]
