    • Was thinking French starts and Smith starts on bench just in case the hammy does play up. Maybe Vave misses out?

  • Agreed. I feel we need Smith on the bench - he covers the backline and King at hooker. Vave to miss out.
  • I wouldnt bring French back in at all now, even if hes fit and ill be surprised if BA does.

    Bev will only be a liability at this point of the season, we need to stick with what we have imo.

    • Perhaps Snake. I wouldn't question the decision if that's the case. Smith has been great

  • Ifld swap uavaa and french have semi and french on the wings smith at fullback
    • Auva'a has proven hes more than capable after the weekend. BA wont drop him

  • Smith on bench for sure --> need his speed around the ruck at the back end of the game... he has a great turn of speed and an awesome step that could cause havoc around big forwards. 

  • Drop avuua put French wing and still have 4 forwards on the bench

    • French will be exploited out wide in the big games, Auvas size and power has been working a treat.

      Id only think about bringing him back into FB, but even then id rather Smith atm.

      Bev will not come back in and have a blinder, hes had too many weeks off, i wouldnt bring him back at all unless we are forced to.

  • Smith has the utility value to cover anywhere from 1 to 9. Whatever team BA goes with this Saturday, Smith will feature somewhere in the 17.
