How on earth do you drop two people from that backline next week? Unless there is a spare spot in the forwards for Oates.
Pearson and staggs are guns. I suspect Staggs will get a bench spot if fit. 1000% better than opacic
Sorry, wasn't suggesting they shouldn't be dropped but difficult because they are deserving of spotsCome on, Pearson and Staggs are good but they don't compare to Roberts and Oates.
If Roberts were playing, we win by more.

??? I made Kahu miss, and that's not something I would do lightly!Porthoz fail.
It’s been years and I’m still waiting for proof about the slow service but sure, let’s go with that.

Love the smell of victory in the morning, anyone with me?
Although his service is occasionally slow and not to the chest, it's more that he just doesn't read what's in front of him well - he sends the ball the wrong way far too often.
You obviously don't watch him closely enough. You can criticise McCullough on a lot of things, but to say his passes aren't to/on the chest is one you cannot. Watch him more closely next time, his passing (after his defence) is his strongest asset. You can debate the speed of service of pass, but not the quality. That's just criticising something for the sake of it. If you actually watch yesterday's game there were many times that Turpin looked like a lost dog chasing his tail as he looked for options. At least twice I remember him running backwards to find an option.
McCullough's game has improved this season and in particular since Origin 1. Watch him now deliver crisp passes, 3 or 4 wide off the ground. I'm sure if McCullough was playing yesterday off the back of that forward pack and delivered a man of the match performance there'd still be criticism of his game.
Just saying McCullough is slow doesn't mean his service is slow. His service is fine but it might slow down in the last ten to twenty minutes. These fast hookers are enigmas. Only one team has won a premiership with one over the last few years and that's because their opposition fell over in the last second.
