I'm sorry, but some of these selections I just don't get. Arnold offers nothing off the bench so gets promoted to start. We want to play Gordon (agreed), Tate has a pretty ordinary game with his passing, so we change nothing, persist with a 9 with a loose pass and a talented 10 who isn't a test level goal kicker! Playing Lonergan at 9 just seems such an obvious choice. Pone can't play 80, and Nongoor has already established he's a year or two short of test level. And clearly Uelese still has those photos!!!
Having said all that, I like the move of Hooper to 6, he's a good player, let's play him in the right spot. I was at the Argentine game, thought McReight was really good, and if he isn't up to it and Hooper is still unavailable or not preferred, Wilkin is a proper 7 who had a great season.
Having said all that, I hope I'm as wrong as my wife always says I am and they put on a huge perfomance.
