Why not just play him on Saturday as we have only one recognised winger in the team. But that would be too simple

Regan Grace has obviously been taking the same invisibility potion Mark Percival has taken. The lineups Bennett have come up with have been shambolic. McGillvary & Hall is a wonderful name for a solicitors in a novel. It is no longer a viable wing partnership in professional rugby league.

Indeed. Can't argue with that

Blake Austin is rumoured to be starting the game on the wing

Eddie Hemmings has entered the chat

Not many people know this, but Chris Hill used to be a winger.

And that could be where he is playing before the end of the tour or maybe, drop him in at centre, a position that playing centre for your club no longer seems relevant.
It's like we've gone back 25 years.
Bring back McNamara - I'm half joking here but, he's was taking England forward and currently, we are in reverse

Hopefully Bennett will be gone after the PNG game, which we will probably lose as well.

We are having a poor series at the moment but 2 years ago we were an ankle tap away from being in a great position to win a world cup and last season we won a series against the Kiwis.

True but it was still boring to watch. It was only entertaining as our games were tight. The selections for this tour have been odd, and he has always had a thing for playing people out of position, Bateman in the centres etc.

Personally think we'd play much better with Powell as coach, or Watson.
