Sorry to be the one to start another Benny Mathews thread, but I thought it would be interesting to kick off some discussion for what the rest of the year holds for Ben Mathews.
Roos keeps mentioning him at every opportunity giving a strong indication he would like him back in the team for the finals....
"We need to try and them get back in the side, but it's always predicated on form and fitness," he said.
Mathews is clearly not match fit and based on Crouch's program (Davo's 5 week exile is obviously an exception) Mathews will need to play at least two weeks in the reserves before being considered for senior selection.
That make an earliest posible return for round 22, or more likely the first week of finals.
This is obviously risky but one Roos feels is worth taking based on his regular musings.
When you consider we 'may' have one 7 in a row by then you would have to question the wisdom of making such a change at the business end of the season.
