With RCG out for up to 8-10 weeks, Paulo and Greig have been given the chance to fill the void. Paulo, as an Origin quality Prop, will do what he normally does while Greig gets better and better everyweek, to the point where he deserves a contract extension, he is finally it seems moving forward with his potential. Beyond that it is slim, Makatoa is fine but he is 31 at years end, his development has peaked, Rodwell has battled injuries all year but seems to just not be up to it. Has played 5 NRL games, is a hard worker but is simply what Makatoa is but little less in his game. Ogden the most experienced out of the depth with 47 games, he looked good in his 2 games in 2022. In NSW cup he has been solid without being spectacular. I feel Ogden should be given the chance to possibly show his worth over Makatoa at least, playing FG might kick him up the back side. Ogden was better than Makatoa in Cup but not saying much compared to how the side played. There has been talk of possibly Hodgson being late inclusion, Ogden should come onto the bench to beef up our bench.
The job of our bench middle is to get through work and stablise momentum, Ogden for 15-20mins i think can do that better than Makatoa and can do a job for us. Though signing Davey, though i do not mind Davey, doesn't do much for our middle depth so i hope someone like Ogden can step up.
