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.

"A cynical person could quite easily believe that the outcome of the game is based on what's best for the betting agency, which changes as the game goes on ...ref is already mic'd up directly to NRL Headquarters."
"I hope Mitchell gives himself all the time he needs to totally recover from his leg problems. Don't rush back just to play Origin.
And Ethan Strange, we all know, won't let us down Wed nite"

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
