Why handicap yourself into playing 16 against 17?
It’s not a handicap if you don’t need to use 17. It’s an absolute luxury, one that a lot teams can’t afford because they need to cover a hooker.

most coaches would love to carry an outside back on the bench if they could afford to. Their teams just aren’t fit enough too.

How many minutes did Wishart play in the GF in the middle?

A 14 should be tactical if not needed for injury

Better off not having to carry anyone who can't defend in the middle. I rate Laurie but it doesn't work

Personally I would go:

1. Laurie
2. Bizza
3. Tago
4. Cole (think he is like Burton and has a skillset better suited to centres)
5. Alamoti
6. Toelau
7. Cleary
8. Leota
9. Kenny
10. Smith
11. Garner
12. Martin
14. Yeo

14. Talagi (4 or 6 if they struggle)
15. Sorensen
16. Henry
17. Papali’i

I don’t expect any changes though. Except injury forced changes.
