If Blaize dominates during the time Moses is out should he keep a spot in the 17 ? Most likely in the centres I would assume but it would be pretty cool to see him lock down a spot in the 17. Hopefully he has a good 8-10 weeks

Well he might only get 5 games. BA was boyish about Moses being back before scheduled and said 8 weeks is the date. So RD 10 v Brisbane after a bye seems very likely. But even then, depending how he goes of course, i think it is very plausible that Talagi keeps a spot in the 17, either at Centre or 14.
Also nobody knows how Blaize will go. For all we know he could be replaced before Moses even returns. See what happens today and next. He could just as easily be straight out of the side. Wait and see and enjoy the next two weeks.
I think BA would give him some time, but we do have Asi if things go pear shaped for Talagi. BA said he has a quality right side near him, so he must be sticking him on the right when last time Brown was 7 he shifted to the right. I am not sure about that with Tuilagi on the edge today. I would rather Talagi have Lane if Carty is not there or even Matto. Then again the combination of Brown and Lane is starting to get going again, also Brown with Sivo will be needed.
As i mentioned in another blog Nitram, this game for me is a massive game in seeing how we can cope without Moses for 1, but also the ability of Talagi, also Brown being able to step up and carry the team himself.
Yeah that is the unfortunate thing about his injury, one little set back can add a month to the recovery. I stand by RD 10 as a guess but it could be 12 or even 13. Just hope the healing is going well at his next scan. BA seems hopeful and that is the positive thing. Yes as a coach he has to be but he can also just keep close to his chest.
