Interesting choice to play Samu at 6 and Bedwell-Curtis at 7.
I wonder if they've got that right? From what I know, both are really blindsides, but Samu is a bit smaller and pretty fast - and I'm pretty sure he played openside in the first game didn't he?
Backs look good. Hopefully Razor rolling the dice with the forwards won't come back to bite us. There's a little bit o9f cavalry on the bench if we need it.
Bedwell-Curtis played almost all games for the Turbos at no. 8 and at least one at 6.
Samu was a late injury replacement for Todd in round 1, hence playing openside, but like Bedwell-Curtis mostly played at no. 8 and a few times at 6 for Ta$man. Maybe Robertson concluded from the first game that Samu is not the best of the two at 7; who knows ...With both opensides Todd and Brown injured, at least one of the blindsides will have to play at 7. Taufua will cover all three positions from the bench. According to their Crusaders player profiles, Samu is 1.89m and B-C 1.88m.
Edit: according to his Ta$man profile, Samu is 1.85m tall; the Turbos website gives B-C a height of 1.88m as well.

@Stargazer Bedwell-Curtis' mother must have written his wiki profile - that's got him at 1.94 m.
Maybe he's got a fro?

Or @Canes4life has found someone other than Ardie Savea to pump?

@taniwharugby I wanted to pick the Saders but the Reds forward pack is useful, its at Suncorp, they beat the Sharks and the Crusaders backs are meh especially without Moanga.

a'unga.Yes, a bit of a banana skin game. Like the Blues experienced last year with that draw.

That young Perese debuting for the Reds on the wing made a pretty damn impressive cameo again the Farce last week. Definitely one to watch.

@KiwiMurph Yes, and all those injury enforced changes in the Crusaders squad: how will the rookies/2nd stringers go?
It will also be interesting to find out how Ioane will go against his old team and how he will perform in SR after a several years absence, also considering his age.
