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.
"Cleary is trusting the process after 4 back to back premierships and another on the way. Their team just walloped a team by 50, the team they walloped just put 50 on us. The process they're trusting has proven incredible success behind it... that's…"
"Agree Muttman, barely anything to be overly excited about like most seem on here seem to be.
Wish they would announce the signing of a Casey McLean or something of that standard."
"Coryn, I suggest you go back to the blog asking if anyone is losing faith and have a read over some of the comments made after our loss to the Panthers. Are the 1eyedeel community in a state of panic? Are they trusting the process? Are they sticking…"
"Listening to the Clearys in the presser they sound very much like Bill Walsh the famous 49er nfl coach.

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
