Let me start by saying that i love stevey baker but they should have played him last week.
He will find it very hard as did dempster did last year after not playing for 5-6 weeks he was a liability i hope bakes is not the same.
As for not playing Mc well this could backfire bigtime.With our set structers with kosi playing ruck in the forward line and gardy not being as effective up forward as he is doing 80%of ruck work.
IF Kosi is not taking marks up forward we dont have a option of throwing Mc or Gardy there as Gardy will be either on bench or in ruck,and if we need him down back to stop some big marking pies same think applies.
And if kois is a bit still injured with the ribs he is on the bench for some of the game with them all the pressure on Roo just leaves us with less goal kicking options which Mc is good at and is mobile.
This move really worries me i hope they are not being to cute about it should have kept the same side as last week.
Big Mc out bakes after 13 weeks out bad move!

Re: Big Mc out bakes after 13 weeks out bad move!
I personally think its a great move! on many occasions a player whom has been out for a while has played their 1st game back sensationally!! And then their 2nd is very poor! but in bakers case there isn't a second game, but the pre-season!!! i think its a very smart move and i only hope and im sure everyone else will want him to prove me right tomorrow afternoon!!!
