Safe to assume Ridge will move to lock and Chalky into the back row? I think Taylor coming off the bench is the right move at this stage of the season...

Agree that Taka needs to be no less than 100% before he returns, but i still can't believe Michaels is the first cab of the rank to replace a back-line injury, especially after we trialled so many exciting young players.

Makes you feel for young guys like Hunt and Russell who are killing it in nyc ... but are stuck behind players that are getting picked because of this safety first, runs on the board mentality. Look at the top 3 coaches in the comp and consider how many young guns they have debuted early in the season.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to a great win this weekend, and will back mead or KG to bag a double.
