He's always going to be upbeat about their chances but it does genuinely sound like they would have all played if this was the the biggest game of the year.

I can't get behind picking Frost. We have great second row depth at the moment and he's been way off the pace this year.

Who would you have instead?

 

[Derpus]

Swain or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

Joe said they’re doing great and will likely be fit for the Lions

Yeah, that's what they've said about every calf injury in the past couple of years. First: it's just precautionary, they'll be right soon. Two weeks later: calf injuries are tricky, it's hard to say exactly when they'll be right. Two weeks after that: probably another month...

Where'd you see this interview? I'd love to check it out.

I thought Swain was a bit of a passenger in the Force game, albeit with less talent around him. Elite at lineout time obviously. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was up to the physical challenge granted, I do like him, let's see how Frost goes this weekend then go from there I guess?

Swain or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto).

I don't mind having Frost start this one. I feel his does a lot of small things well that tend to go unnoticed, plus Swain and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) have had a run recently.
