[QUOTE="Fushitsusha, post: 153983"] In a pretty dismal team, being the best of the mediocre isn't too much to go on about... [/b][/quote] You could say that about most players in the Wallabies... Unfortunately I see Fisher starting off the season playing it safe by putting Huxley at flyhalf and Fairbanks at inside centre. I'm really not too fond of Fairbanks and there is quite a few players in the team I'd rather pair up with Mortlock. As for Huxley - he's an excellent fullback, but doesn't really shine at flyhalf. Anyways, because he's going to play Huxley at flyhalf I would assume AAC would play fullback with Gerrard and Rathbone on the wings. I would prefer Gerrard at fullback over AAC because Gerrard has got such an awesome boot and is good under the high ball whereas Ashley-Cooper is such a devastating ball runner. Let's hope that Lealifaano can get a run and show what he's got because they'll need a proper successor to Larkham. Obviously AAC is now the first choice out of the back 3 and if Huxley goes back to fullback I think it'll be Gerrard and Rathbone fighting it out for the other wing with Gerrard more in favour at the moment. Hopefully Rathbone's long break from the game can see him return to form. It would be interesting to see a centre pairing of him and Mortlock actually. [/QUOTE]
