      Excited to see the helmet, though.
      It just screams 'premiership'.

      LRT logically has to come in for White. You know you'll get a pretty reasonable game out of LRT. With White he could play like last week or he could play like he usually plays.

        I'm disappointed for Jesse as I was impressed last weekend. However more than happy to see LRT back - sometimes I still wonder if LRT's main issue, according to some people on here, is that he is a Sydney boy from a rugby background and by definition could therefore not be good enough?

            Absolute rubbish.

              Disagree that White has shown more in his 2 games then LRT. Regardless of this, LRT surely has enough credits in the bank to earn selection.

              He should be (and is) one of the first picked every week.

                This reminds me of the 'get rid of Ted' crowd from a few years ago.

                  Hey, I was part of that crowd...and we were right. He was rubbish....gave up 3 goals a week from stupid decisions, schoolboy turnovers or unnecessary frees.

                  I must know nothing about football 'cos he suddenly grew a brain as well as a heart. Barely puts a foot wrong and right now is in AA contention for CHB

                    The only difference is that Ted wasn't playing well at all in those years whereas LRT has always contributed.

                      It is quite possible that LRT was brought in to play on Buddy after he mauled Reg last time.
                      If that was the case White would still be in the team.

                        Listening to the Ins and outs on the Swans website it appears they spent a bit of time in the match committee discussing what to do with White...

                          Two different points of view: Do the Swans play themselves into or out of the firsts as the Doctor says, or are there such things as selection credits?

                            I'm very glad that I defended Ted as hard as possible. Have always loved him.

                            Everyone goes through a bad patch at some stage.

                              Even more reason that LRT in the team is a no brainer.

                                Surely a combo of both. In this case, if a players form is similar to anothers, then prior experience/long term form must be factored in.
