CHN is definitely our best second rower. Would like to see Kris be morphed into a second rower too as I see this position as one of our weaker ones and we need more depth. He could prove handy there.

Elliot and Young will probably be fighting for that lock role come Rd 1 I imagine. However would like to see Whitehead move more centrally.

With the way the game has gone and back coverage almost essential now I reckon Kris should be the bench second rower. If all goes to plan he provides 20+ minutes of energy in the forwards. If injuries or HIA's occur in the backs he covers there and plays centre. I think it's a pretty obvious and positive selection too tbh.

Absolutely agree re: Kris. Him, Starling plus two players that can play middle should be our bench for sure, imo.

If Kris is on the bench then I think Young drops out of the 17. But I think I would probably have to agree that of the two, it's probably wiser to carry Kris on the bench who can also cover an injury to a back.

You've got Elliott over Young?

One of them, and not one of the props, has to be lock imo.
