Two utility players on the bench..odd forward pack.

Also how hard is it to get the spelling right for the players on your own team ?

I'm curious as to why we moved Chambers to the left and Fonua to the right. Just to avoid Fonua and Young defending next to each other?

Not just those two, I think Hampton has a lot to do with it too. During the Bulldogs Trial in Brisbane, Fonua and Young played on the left but had Roberts defending inside them. Now with Hampton defending on the left I think they've decided to move Chambers to the left so that it is not a Hampton, Fonua, Young combination. IMO we've significantly weakened our attack and barely strengthened our defence by doing this. Fonua I think makes a better fist of playing both sides of the field than Chambers who has proved since his time with the Reds that he is outstanding beating players on the right but average when he is on the left.
