[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 798560, member: 72322"] I can only assume that Manus injury at the weekend was the reason Teo has been included. Very similar in style and size, although I have not seen enough of him to comment on his ability, although I will say that very few have ever successfully made the transition from league to union, especially when playing at centre. Eddie has shown to be a shrewd chap however so I'll hold faith, for now. The bigger surprise for me is Yard. Hasn't looked great all season, and with all the options we have not sure where he fits in. Can only play wing, unlike Watson and Jack, doesn't have a very good kicking game, and hasn't really been finishing like a demon. He's certainly solid, but i would have been interested to see what Wade could have done given the chance. Ashton's time is past and I've no problem with that. Finally, and I can't believe I'm saying it, but should Goode now be starting ahead of Brown. I've never rated him but this season he really has been pretty special. Weaving through defenders, taking every high ball, kicking with pinpoint accuracy and looking calm and collected throughout. be interested to know what people think. Other then that it's a good squad with every chance of success. [/QUOTE]
