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.
"I watched panthers HM today as my nephew plays for them, they were knocked out by the roosters. They were on the back foot from the kick off giving away a penalty for being in front of the kicker, made too many errors and pretty much played down…"
"Scott Wisemantel is responsible for the attack and style of play everyone including yourself was ranting about.You can't have it both ways.JR hired both of these guys Wisemantel and Mills if there no good like your portraying what does that say…"
"EA do you have concerns that the clubs long term plan to win a premiership is centred on these kids coming throu and being quality players. Or are we actually sitting very well with individuals."

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
