Good points.
I agree I don't mind one of them being in the line up, hell even two.
But:
If both are in and they're going for a more physical line-up, then lets see physicality. In a blow-out we can't come back from, Jackman and McGratton should be out there killing people, not allowing opposition not to fight based on any little thing like the examples you mentioned.
Meanwhile they're not being physical in any real way, and they're not developing ANYONE they play with.
I'd be interested to see where you stand on the Backlund issue Bingo.
If you listen to people like Warrener and Boomer, they think he's played enough and there's no incremental improvement. A pattern of un-success as it were.
Or is that because he's playing with the likes of McGratton regularly?
I just can't decide.
