[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 948258, member: 65365"] I like Jacobson a lot but wonder if he is a legitimate selection or only because squire is unavailable. He may not even get game time, rather just time in the environment. I think this squad is about getting all the options for the World Cup squad together. Thenin the World Cup squad a big consideration is that if you get an injury you can either replace that player but then you can’t bring them back or you keep them in the squad, injured, until he recovers, which means you need players within the squad to cover. Point being utility is a big factor. They will essentially be picking the 33 based on who their 23 is or what players are still potential for that, then filling the rest with players that are good replacements for injuries while ensuring good coverage across the different positions. That’s why papalii is there, as a 6/7 option. Fifita hemopo and frizell are also 6/5 options. Scott Barrett too, I think he is actually our best 6 option. They will take 3 halfbacks to the World Cup, that’s pretty standard fare. [/QUOTE]
