I'm sorry, but I think continuing to not select a genuine Halfback when you have one available really beggars belief, and if we do lose this game and/or get bungled out of the finals in Week 1 because of a lack of direction from our Halves, Seibold will really only have himself to blame and honestly nowhere to hide. I'm trying to trust him and give him the benefit of the doubt, but he's just painting himself into a hell of a corner now that only an ageing and ailing Darius Boyd can have any hope to drag him out of.
If we absolutely must be asked to accept Boyd as a makeshift 5/8, then the least you can do is provide him with a genuine Halfback to play alongside. To choose to use a makeshift 5/8 and a makeshift Halfback when there are viable alternatives available really doesn't make sense.
Just to be clear, I'm not bagging Turpin, far from it, he should be straight back into the #9 jersey where he belongs and where he's done his best work, leaving O'Sullivan at Halfback where he belongs.
The continued selection at this time of year of makeshift options in our two playmaking positions so that Boyd and MCCullough can continue to be on the team sheet will almost certainly be the final nail in the coffin of a pretty shabby season all round.
