Hmm, tricky when you dont see trianing every day. I think the loose forward debate for McG is a lot easier if you make a few statements:
Loose is the position that is the most creative, dynamic of the forwards and acts like an extra half back when you have the ball. ALSO it is the utility tackling position, you expect to fill in tackling in prop and the back row overs and unders channel, typically I would expect 13 to regularly and routinely make the most tackles in a game. Personally, and with all due respect, mentioning Goldy and Vowles in the same breath and position gives me the answer I need.
That said, looking at our depth I think there are only a couple of choices - Let him have a run at centre and save Shaw/Griffin. Put him on the bench to fill in for injury or if Danny needs a spell.
So, I am going conservatively with:
1. Owen
2. Dixon
3. Thompson
4. Arundel or McGoldrick
5. Youngquest
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Emmitt
9. Milner
10. Huby
11. Millington
12. Jones
13. Ferris
14. Clark
15. Walker
16. Jackson
17. Arundel/McGoldrick
If we saw that team for 20 of our 28 rounds, then I think we could be getting a nosebleed! Sadly already we have recoveries and injuries.
