Arundel is the better defender. Reece looks better in attack but lets more trys in than he scores. Basic maths really

Lyne has defended pretty well this season, 18 tackles and 15 missed tackles is damn good going and better even then Toupu.
No doubt that Lyne is a stronger player in possession and has been one of our better players this season but, some of his basic passing is awful.
Arundel is a far better player at timing a pass to his wingman but is slightly slower and nowhere near as effective bringing the ball form our line and Toupu, generally, has been immense.
Unless you are going to play Lyne or Toupu on the wing, which would mean dropping Johnstone or BJB, Arundel is going to be left waiting for his chance and we still have MCB who is also unlucky not to be getting some game time.

big Dave back,then comes the problem Finn and Grix back

The interview with Chester in the YEP gave me some optimism as he seems to have realised if it ain’t broken don’t fix it and alluded to stripping things back to what we were doing last season

Not a problem for me, best players for their positions, they've got their weaknesses but I still rate them higher than our alternatives.

A case could be made for the idea that things got swapped about, partly forced swaps and partly to try and turn around the results after all those close but no ceegar games.

Arundel is the best centre at the club, irrespective of how quick or slow he is.
If the basis of how good you are as a centre is how good you are at taking it up out of your own 20, then something's wrong.
He knows when to pass a ball to his winger and we're not using that enough with the pace and quality we have on the edges.
Got too carried away with having a monster pack that will steamroller teams, I hope this doesn't happen tomorrow.

Yup, I'm a big Arundel fan. However, the reailty is Lyne and Tupou have been good as well. It's a tough decision. All 3 have different styles.
