I'd play King ahead of Grix in the centre.

Grix might have scored a few tries in recent weeks, but his positional play when we are in possession and attacking worries me.

Louis Anderson normally plays inside Grix, yet Grix is often in front of Anderson as the ball is sent out to the left. This then has a domino effect on the left-winger who doesn't know whether to take their position from Anderson or Grix.

Grix and King are better centres at the moment and Bridge can provide utility cover from the bench.

I think everyone has improved lately but IMO Bridge has been brilliant.

It'll certainly be interesting to see who TS picks as the best team

I think Grix is a better left centre then King. King should stick it out on the wing for me competing with Riley. Hicks and Bridge down the right, as i like the look of that combo.

but then you've got two left centres playing.

i think to get the most out of whats available, we've got to go with

hicks
bridge
grix
king

and ruffle riley's hair and tell him well done for the past couple of weeks. i think thats the most effective line up.

I agree, I think.

I'm a bit on the fence, Riley in my mind is the most likely to muck up, make a bad errror and cost you a try/the game. He's also the most likely of that backline to make 50m+ break. I think it's important that you have that threat in your side, that's why I think I'm so keen for Penny to do so well.
