Dean Widders has been moved into the centres and James Webster gets the chance to take over the hooking role.

Wow! About time really. smithy has shown a lot a loyalty to many players who just haven't performed. Having said that, this team will also put a lot of pressure on the coach if it is steam rolled .

Finallllly Smithy did what he had to do. I jus hope this team does not get walloped like the others. Fui is great but just to unfit and his games since the manly game where he made his prescence felt have not been seen again. I feel widders is wasted in the centres and is better suited to an interchange. Webster is great but also better suited to interchange but will be an asset in hooker. Team looks good but it will b hard to knock over an in form tigers team

Good to see changes but it might be a little too late. Due to the 4 straight home losses Parra will need to do it the tough way to get into the finals.
