Love how people assume that a freed up quota spot would mean Cas magically having enough money for a first team quality player from oz.

Being from oz doesnt make someone a better rugby player, and Jy is hardly going to be swapped out for Billy Slater.

Clare's physique, on the other hand, lends itself better to the current conditions. I'm not saying who deserves to be playing cos I don't see them in training, but I can see some logic in the selections.
spot on in all respects mate, as a coach you see the players every day. sticks is ahead at the moment due to his size and the state of the pitches. horses for courses and powell knows that. shame some on here don't.

I went for size on the bench given how physical Catalan are.

Only got Wardle and Cook wrong. Not a bad guess.
