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 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.
"Can't match Russell Crowes TPA pull that's all this is I have no doubt cap regardless years in the contract I bet you there's a sweet TPA in case of emergencies I'd put money on that.The only way Parra are to land a guy like him is to go silly or…"

Paulo should of been dropped 3 years ago..
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.

I do think 4 forwards on the bench will help
