Don't forget Turner is lurking in the extended bench. I think a large reason we played Whitehead there earlier was because Ricky wanted Cotric to have a comfortable intro rather than throwing two fresh faces out together. It worked ok the first time and not so great the second and Elliot proved this week how important he is on that RHS, so I think there's a decent chance he doesn't get shifted again this year.
Oh certainly I totally agree. I think it was to save him a little in defence so it wasn't flat out targeted. I think if Turner played better in the all stars he would have been named there round one but I think Ricky got cold feet and rightfully so.
Even with Injuries I cant see Whitehead playing there again. Santo may even get the call up
