Still prefer four forwards
Indeed.
The limited minutes DA gets could be better utilised giving them to Tuku, IMHO.
And I don't buy this shit of DA being there for injury cover.
Sifa does that.
If we have an injury in the backs, Hiroti covers fullback and wing (or Iro when he's back).
Sifa can handle centre if needed.
Or Nikora/Wilton for that matter, if Fitz doesn't want Sifa there.
Centres? As above, either Sifa plays there or one of Teig/Brit.
If we lose one of the halves well, we've all seen this movie - we play with an extra forward and Brails takes on more from dummy half.
If Brails goes down, McIneffective to dummy half and Sifa to lock.
I honestly don't see how the current bench setup provides more.
