On what planet is Saifiti a better starting prop than Junior?

Probably a good tactic

Junior is more skillful, to come on when the defence is fatiguing and get his off loads and 2nd phase going

Yeah I can see that point of view... But I just think Junior has established himself as an elite prop now. He should be starting in any side he plays in. If the bench doesn't have enough punch, that shouldn't be his problem...

More to the point, on what planet is he better than RCG?

Not making comparisons but I thought Saifiti was great in game 1. Certainly helped getting more minutes. Im not sure if Jnr was gassed (unlikely) or the play makers/hooker deliberately avoided him in the second half.

This is f**king awesome!

Well done, Browny - well-deserved, brother!

At first, I was a bit annoyed - Saifiti is over-rated as hell, and the new bloke in the 10 is a bit shit, too.

But having Junior come off the bench, to run at a tired defence, could be a master stroke.

Rub? Stroke??? No need to tell us of your midnight fantasies.

So does Nrown or Gutho give Cook a break?

NBrown brought in for his aggressive hard running , not much chop doing that from dummy half

Gutho probably most likely, but who goes to centre. Yeo/Crichton?

Id say they want Cook to play 80?

If a back goes down we may be in a little pickle
Mr Fix it Gutho to wing or FB or halves, if one of those spots goes down in the match?
Yeo or Crichton to centre?

I like Junior off the bench, he will create havoc, and congrats to Browny, made for origin.

He was offloading and getting 2nd phase going when he was starting, then Tedesco would drop the ball and Junior's good work went to waste

In The Cape we trust
