I really don't know what happened there. During the match where Petty got injured he was playing a reasonable game up forward, so it certainly looked like a plan worth persisting with. Before Petty returns, we brought in Tomlinson and it was obvious that Lever and May were much much better having that third tall stopper in defence.JVR and Petty forward. It’s staring you in the face, Simon
But then Petty returns, Tomlinson is dropped, Petty goes straight back to defence and somehow we end up with Brown and Smith as our tall forwards. I'd like to see us bring back Tomlinson, move Petty forward with van Rooyen, and drop Brown and Smith. That's the setup I'd like to hone in on for finals, if we can get that far.
