[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 676785, member: 53057"] Gopperth is our best 10 at the moment. I know Madigan has his fans but despite being as you say limited Gopperth is a better outhalf than Madigan. Madigan has also been covering centre leaving us with Marsh or Crosbie as our only options (Marsh is also just after getting injured) maybe Marsh should have got a go but they're not exactly guys you put in when the team is not doing so well. Regards Fanning, we haven't had DK or Fitzgerald available so far this season. While we only had Kirchener for a game and a hald and McFadden for about the same. MOC clearly doesn't rate SCM, which I do think he is probably wrong of him. McGrath while a livewire on attack has shown himself to have such poor positioning that he needs to be coached from the sideline and isn't trusted to take a high ball. Fanning has also being playing quite well imo and I think has been a justified selection. Then finally at hooker we've haven't had Strauss or Dundon yet leaving us with Bryan Byrne as our replacement. He has in fairness looked decent in his cameos but clearly you pick Cronin every time. I reckon neither Fanning or Cronin will start vs Zebre. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we start a very callow team and end up basically sacrifising it. Not sure I'd agree with it but I can see it happening. [/QUOTE]
