Maybe they thought peel were a better chance if Suban was on the emergency bench instead of Pearce?
Surely after a month of pine warming Danyel needs a run at any level.
Edit: Speaking of emergency listings, surely playing only one recognised ruck man means it would be prudent to name Griff on the pine, particularly for interstate games, what happens is Sandi gets food poisoning or concussion from whacking his head on a low door frame? This would allow Darcy to ruck peel games, surely at his age Griff can't learn much against wafl opposition.
