Disappointed with Croft getting picked again... I'm hoping that it is more so a smoke screen with Turps to pull out and Croft to drop back to the bench.
I just feel Croft is so far out of form that the responsibility of having to be a play maker in this side is probably not going to help his cause, getting dropped to the bench won't help either, but at least it can be sold that it's a necessary move due to injuries picked up.
I'm not sure what Albert has done to fall out of favour or if it is Kevvie somehow trying to instil some confidence in the team by sticking strong with Croft (i.e. stopping the chopping and changing), but Albert has showed far more this year and against better teams than Croft has since coming back into the team.
Coming from the bench might be a little less pressure on Croft as well... although I don't necessarily like his passing game as I can't recall him ever doing a bullet pass, which could mean his service won't be great on top of having no experience in the position to know the nuances.
If Turps pulls out I can see Kevvie moving Kobe to hooker, TC to start and who the **** knows comes onto the bench looking at those reserves... maybe Albert to get a 5mins cameo at the end when the score is 18-6, because the entire attack is left to Gamble.
Extremely frustrating that a winnable game like this one could be undone by Kevvie picking a guy that is miles out of form instead of the guy who has provided a win against better opposition, was the lead play maker in that game, and has been a spark to our attack and kicking game in the games that he has played in.
