So you're suggesting 4 changes to accommodate 1 player missing?
More likely Harrison to fill at dummy half in when Rein is off the field.
I'd say Rein will look to play the 80, and if he or a half goes down, then the shuffle is the only real option. I can't really see Harrison playing hooker.
I can't see how Vidot can be filled in at this stage. We never had any winger on a bench before whose going to cover the wingers in replacement of another player, and also take up one of the forwards.
If Vidot is on the bench, I'd say he'd be brought on as a wide running back rower, give him a bit of experience in the forwards. He definitely has the size and strength for it, and remember - Ben Creagh started out on the wing.
That being said, I'd like to see JDB back in the side.
Fien has been playing halfback very well so far this season, so let him stay there.
Questionable. He is trying his heart out and had some good moments, particularly against the Sharks, but I don't think he is steering the team around the park like a halfback should. I will be surprised if he holds the spot all year.
I know Price is doing, I would not care what his choice does. He is more experienced coach than anyone else here on the forums. Price is always has options to alternate. Especially what I has said above. I think its' a good possibility to take a look at the Knights' players and their skills during the game. Price has a plan, and its always right.
Agree with him being a more experienced coach, but that doesn't mean his plan is 'always right'. I dont mind him as a coach, and if we play this weekend like we did last week (win or lose) I'll start buying more into what he's selling, as will most of here. But he hasn't proved that he always has the right plan...yet.
