There's a lot of disruption mate, and I'm not just talking about the Flannagan thing I keep harping on about.
1. Jake out injured
2. Tuilagi out injured
3. DCE & Tom pulled out for Origin
4. Arthur has been in the team 3 week
5. Still kind of lack a 9 & 13
6. Parker out injured
7. Ben Turbo injured
8. No NSW Cup players REALLY being standouts and demanding selection
THEN the Flannagan stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make excuses, but things are happening.
