        • if we drop Paulo who do we bring? We dont have the roster to accomodate it

          • Anyone, he doesn't get massive metres, lead the tackle count or put on any hits. May as well play lussick prop as you get the same inept go forward 

        • Should have kept RCG and got rid of Paulo

    • I would have preferred a rotation of Arthur and Smith at hooker. Either one on the bench in 14. I just got a feeling that would have worked.

      • I would prefer Joash on the bench.

        When Smith needs a break, move Brown to hooker and Joash to 5/8.

        • Maybe Ryles should train up one of the forwards to give Smith a rest at dummy half, possibly Doorey?

           

          • Why waste time and resources for that though? Hopgood can do it and is in the team everyweek.

            • Smith has been given about 55 mins in his first 2 games, that could easily be pushed out to about 60 - 65..  He starts then gets a break about 10 before half-time.  I'd rather his replacement have fresh legs at that time of the game than Hopgood who's been busting his balls for 30 mins.

              I do think 4 forwards on the bench will help

        • I would not put Papali'i at 6. He is 5"5, imagine Olakau'atu running at him? Plus has played way more Fullback than 5/8. So he would not be used to defending as much as he would need to in 5/8.

  • Jr really has been speaking to the wok! Real wok stuff This.
