        • 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.

"It's and easy fix put Pezet in the 7 and Moses in the six. Pezet plays more as a natural 7 instead of a eyes up type six. I said this before Lorenzo should have made his debut this year insTead of wasting him in reserve grade."

"I would argue our starting middles are. We regain a lot once Walker, Tuivait and Doorey come on, then slowly go back to before once they are off."
