going to throw out a speculator ... and not one well timed for this week, but hear me out : thinking about how well our defence is holding up so far (as others have mentioned, pretty much leaked the least number of points out of those teams on 4 games played) barring those shaky starts ... and also noting that while our attack has some good shape it's not quite biting yet ... and considering we have the weapon that is Metcalf to come back ... maybe, just maybe you could consider moving an excellent defender and organiser like Te Maire Martin to a centre spot and bring Metcalf into 5/8 when he's proven fit, for that extra speed...? ready to be shouted down on this.
Your trying to climb through a 3rd story window while the front door is open and unlocked.
As long as Te Maire Martin continues to lay on tries and repeats he needs to stay at 6
