My worthless opinions

Everytime I see squad or team I think it looks a little better and I'm happier with it.

After years of not having a decent centre pairing and happy with Hawkins and James. But now we got two more young lumps coming through as Hennessey and Bradley. So that should make the centre solid in the future.

I have no idea at all what coaches see in Ben Thomas at international. He just doesn't work there. Maybe he's there as he knows the system and for training? God knows.

Angus O'Brian robbed. Blaire Murray is fun but he's not the answer. LRZ is a wild card and I don't mind trying out his high ceiling at fullback. But could do with someone who can steady the ship, especially with a good kicking game.
