Either way I'd think Asi might be named on the extended bench come Tuesday - just gives BA more options depending how the week unfolds. Asi could cover fullback if Gutherson moves to five-eighth, or possibly a stint at five-eighth himself. Also how BA uses Hands and Hodgson might become part of the mix, e.g. leaving them on the field together for a bit and one doing some time as a halves playmaker.
I'm more interested in what we do moving forward?
I'd probably put Simmonson at fullback and Guth to 5/8 with hope Waqa is available.
Asi at 5/8 straight swap if required.
If Blaize wasn't injured I would say bring him straight in.
Hands has also played a lot in the halves. Bryce an option.
Blaize zero chance.
I'd go Bryce with guth backup kickerHands has also played a lot in the halves. Bryce an option.

Guth - 6
ASI or Russell - 1
Actually yeah, against Burton’s torpedoes it’s probably best to have Gutho at the back. Maybe Bryce at 6 and hope Matto is back and can cover the edge.Asi would be destroyed under the high ball
Easy, Jake takes his spot.
Oh wait...
I'm glad he is gone. He would of wormed his way in and we lose if he plays anyhows.
Brown has been close to our best player this season.
close too ?
he's been by far our best in my opinion
Brown had some very quiet/lazy games early on, when Hodgson was playing more minutes and stifling the team.
