        • 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.

"NOS, I just burned through that Feb 2025 blog and did not find a single comment saying Brown is a bad 5/8. Some criticisms were his inconsistency and off-field behaviour. Also that he is not a 7 but no biggie he is a 6. 
My favourite comment in the…"
