Lanes been better then Marata in forwards.Ive been very disappointed with Marata since moved to prop thuis season.
Agree but Lanes decline coincided with his swapping between middle and edge. I don't believe he has the stamina for middle. He was elite on the edge but Ice's form appears to have ended his edge game in the eyes of BA. I reckon Ice may be just as good as he's been if played in the middle. He is being smashed by our game plan though. I really home his form doesn't deteriorate as a result.

Lanes last 5 or 6 games I think have been quite good. His early season form was average.

If we can win whilst giving them fewer mins I am sure they will feel fresher come finals to play longer mins. You also reduce risk of injury.
If played 45mins rather then 55 then it's a 20%ess chance of hurting yourself.
The reduced risk of injury is true, just due to reduced exposure, but playing an extra ten minutes means f**k all for 'freshness' when you've got 100+ hours to recover between games.

Whilst I don’t agree with your %s, I agree that it makes some sense for the regular season. But then come finals it’s less ideal. Plus merkins will still whinge when we get axed by Scum/Smugs because we’re resting RCG or Paulo

Lane is lazy. His occasional decent run or offload masks his laziness in defense (with fans).
No doubt but that occasional decent run is what makes him better suited to bench than Woods. Lanes laziness is what makes Woods better suited to starting (or at least more minutes)
