What Rob overlooks is that old saying 'the best is the enemy of the good'. No team, given financial, contractual and salary cap restrictions can have top international standard players in every position. Bridge appears to be a good centre with the makings of getting better, so why ditch him when we should be strengthening where we have not-so-good players? Moreover, if we really must have someone 'better than Gleeson' that has to mean another expensive Aussie - as there are still no better GB centres that MG - with all the concomitant cost implications, plus another 'short-term' contract, against a talented, young, English player who could make his whole career with Wire. No contest in my view. If Wire were free to pick the best 13 in the world would Bridge be in it? No, but we are not in such a position and never will be.
