Ruling the Roost: Power Play in Rugby League's Upper Echelons The St George Illawarra Dragons' decision to consider a surprise fullback choice after Clint Gutherson's late withdrawal from this weekend's clash against Wests Tigers has sparked debate about unorthodox selections.
This development is part of a broader trend in rugby league, where clubs are increasingly valuing leadership and stability. Gutherson's knee injury means he will miss Sunday's game, leaving his replacement unclear.
Daniel Atkinson, a player with experience playing multiple positions, could be the beneficiary of this unexpected turn of events.
