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.

"Yeah that is what i am referring to. He mentioned he is signed til 2028, but there has not been announcement made. So whether it was agreed but something happened whether money changed or length or maybe Richie's contract status is different and…"

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
