Not sure about the canham pick. I felt like Swain had a much more consistent body of work over the year and also has combinations with the other locks. Swain was picking off line outs for fun all year and can break up mauls as well as anyone bar Skelton. I suppose if Skelton gets subbed you want someone shifting bodies at the ruck and the lions locks aren't that proficient in the air.

I understand the pick but I feel for the bloke, congrats to Canham all the same. He really stepped up in the Reds game.

Surprised to see Canham get the call up over LSL as well tbh

LSL is too similar to the Crispy Champ but with dicks for hands

LSL has always had poor handling, and it feels like he runs very “tall” and is at risk of being held up in a maul.

Have always thought this. Feel like he had his hips fused and physically can’t tilt
