Hopefully this time we don't play 4 guys whose best position is 13 (
Blair,
Burr,
Jazz and Papali'i).
In my opinion
Blair and
Burr are starting 13's or not in the 17 at all, neither offer impact off the bench and neither are metre eating props.
Papali'i is supposed to be our future 13, but is stuck out of position due to the logjam of players in that position. I'd like to see him play in the 13 jersey with the plan to develop him for the future - and maybe put
Pulu on the left edge.
When
Jazz is on form he offers something different on attack (but little on D), anytime he's in the 17, it means we have a tiny bench because of his reluctance to cover hooker. If he learnt the trade properly at hooker, it would mean we could have a more balanced bench with 2 props, someone like Sao who can cover the middle or the edge, and a hooker/lock player like
Jazz.
Most games this season we've played well until around the 20/25th minute which is roughly when our starting props get subbed, this is when we start to lose the battle up front.
We need to find another Prop - Because
Lisone and Satae aren't the answer.
