As Brown is back next game who does he replace, or do you keep the same team that won? On paper you would say either Matagi or Gower, but both played strongly, particularly Gower. Matagi's runs in the first 10 minutes were strong and he bent the line and Gower probably had his best game in first grade. Smith showed his importance replacing two injured players and why having a utility on the bench is vital. If I had to guess Matagi will get dropped if Brown is past fit to play, and if that is the case I would start Brown in the frontrow (direct swap with Matagi). Due to the way Hoffman played for Wenty he will be the obvious replacement for the injured Hayne.
Tigers here we come!

Hayne will be out. Put The prince to the wing and bring brown in. Terepo to bench
Injury report says that French is returning next round.
Having the impact of both Matagi and Terepo is balanced by the clean up work of Alvaro, Brown will go to 13, Terepo will play with Alvaro at the front, Matagi will drop to the bench. Gower will probably be the one to lose out.
Brown is still in a moon boot, might not be back next week.
Ok. Not likely to return then.
I noticed during the warm up he was wearing the moon boot with a little limp, maybe caused by the boot which could just be for precaution.
Matagi has that body we needed. He stays.
