  • Going to need go forward all game v Rif 

    maybe 4 fwd bench

    Maka

    Matto/Kaufusi

    Lane

    Carty/Stone

    • Whenever we need more go forward, BA just gives our starting forward pack for more minutes rather than give more minutes to his bench forward.

      • Maybe cause the bench player dont have the same go forward and impact as Paulo and Rcg.

        Makatoa and Cartwright were average at best and Paulo and Rcg were incredible

        • Yea. That is why I am saying, we dont need 4 forwards on the bench.

          • Okay, I definitely agree to that. A utility is a must

    Matterson has to get in in front of Cartwright. Matto has been much more solid and has been a mainstay in the starting team.  No way Cartwright is in front of Matto that's bs.

     

    Stone has done enough to get a bench spot although Smith covers plenty of positions so that's a toss up.

     

    Khafusi gets in front of Makatoa with experience and rested.  Khafusi is better and we need his size

    • Great team, I would go almost the same but have Will Smith over stone for his utility value. To me Gutho's Knee just doesnt look right and know one else could cover him

      Makato and Cartwright didnt have enough impact for my liking, Kaufusi and Matto in . Papali to stay on the bench, the people saying he didn't have a impact needs to look at the stats 197m and 34 tackles 

      • Makatoa was pulled off after that miss for the try.  I didn't see him gey back on . he's out. He only got 14 minutes and 30 meters.   Makatoa won't feature again unless there's injuries 

        • He missed the tackle for the try and also another one he grabs too much in Defence.

      • Smith's charge down was dumb which led to a try
