Some saying Lane goes after a bad game to say the least, but I'm not sure ba will drop a starter.
I like Smith off the bench who can cover a number of positions, also the quicker game suits his speed in the back half of matches.
Nikure definitely in the 17 as our power forward & never let's the team down off the bench. Hard decisions.

Gone with no utility, think we need a big bench against melbourne
I was very tempted to put Papali'i in Lanes spot but I think impact is important off the bench
Drop Lane out of 17
BA will not drop a starter I don't think either. It will either be Smith or Hipgrave to make way for Marata.
tough one but Lane can't be dropped unless Papalii goes 11 thus losing impact off the bench.Best to wait til Cartright is available.i'll go with Kendozas bench.
Couldnt Hipgrave go 11 ?
Nikorie is a good edge forward. He was used as a middle forward last year but came to the club as a young edge forward. I reckon Nikorie and Dylan Brown could form a lethal right side edge. Bye bye Lane. Reggies or bench for Lane hopefully
I think either Hipgrave or Smith drops out. I think ba will leave Smith out. It's a tough decision.
