I really like the move. Works well for both clubs. Stoked we’ve leveraged our depth to improve our 17. I think creating a shootout at right centre between Momo and Naden is a no lose situation and it frees May and Burton up to focus on the back row/utility roles.
I’d be in favour of starting Capewell on the right, Martin being our second bench prop and May and Burton rounding out the bench. May can play second row to give the starters a spell and Burton can give Yeo a spell and play a roving lock when things are a bit more open. If a prop goes down Yeo would need to shoulder more straight hit ups with Burton/May taking his role. It’s lighter weight but that’s the way the game is going.
Edwards, To’o, Crichton, Momo/Naden, Staines, Luai, Cleary, Fish, Api, Leota, Kikau, Capewell, Yeo, Burton, May, Leniu, Martin.
I think we’ve strengthened our 17 from 2020 and our depth is quite sufficient short of horrific tolls.
