Does this mean that middle backrowers and props when defending standing beside the 5/8th or the halfback ?

Try not over think it to much alice.

Basically "middles" are your hooker, props, lock. They defend in the middle part of the field..hence getting called middles..

Edge forwards are your 2nd rowers and they defend wider, one man further infield from the half on one side and 5/8 on the other. So as the defend a tad wider and generally attack a bit wider and not through the middle they get the name "edge" forwards.

Riki didn't play the 2nd half

Chris Smith played 80 mins at right 2nd row - Allows Martin some time in prop

May - Left wing was deadly all day

L.Smith - Played 65 mins. Ball playing

They are the FG replacements for the injured guys

Thanks for that.

You were at the game ?

Sounds like a plan.

Did riki get injured or did he show enough to get a spot in the side next week.

I cant see the need to move martin.

Eiso hopgood to start..
Spencer on the bench.

We really should run with

Eiso
Api
Hopgood
Martin
Kiks
Yeo

Salmon or kenny
C smith
L smith
Spencer

Salmon whilst im not a fan covers more positions than kenny.

C smith is a good solid hole running 2md rower who is nrl quality.
L smith and spencer to rotate with eiso hopgood.

Given our injuries that is honestly the best line up we can field and imo still pretty strong.

Moving blokes like martin etc really starts to get a bit ugly.. hes been defending well next to sos and has been helping him out big time.

Between the 4 props theres enough to rotate them and keep them fresh so maximum efficency..

And having c smith on the bench means we can actually rotate kiks and martin with an actusl proper 2nd rower and not just a slow utility in salmon.

I can't argue with your thinking.

It will be fascinating to see what the coaching team come up with.

The regulars we have won't move

Api
Martin
Kiks
Yeo

Will play the full 80.

What we did with Capewell worked. He would replace one of the props and Martin would play there.

Allows 2 props to keep rotating through the game
