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.

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
