"I probably wanted, if I could, put Paolo [Odogwu] and Malakai into the middle but Malakai had a problem with his shoulder and had to come off, so we didn't get to see that"

Funny people have mentioned this on here. Not sure it would've changed anything but interesting.

Makes perfect sense though to have your two in form Centres playing alongside each other.

Only slight downside is not having a kicking for territory option which Gopps and Mills offer.

Got Brad Shields for that!

I wonder if this is the start of seeing Alfie more injured than available.

Vertigo? Well, at least we know it wasn’t triggered by our position in the table!

Could have been a very rapid fall over a long distance?
