Injury, fitness and salary cap may have all played a part. One game doesn't make a player but an excellent start. I'd keep him on the bench for the next month and see how he goes. With Grant out his spot is safe. I'd be picking him ahead of everyone bar Woods at prop on current form. Not sure of his agility to play backrow but otherwise could be a definite to replace Sue or Lovett who can never play back row for us ever again
ET should have been yelling at him to hold the ball at the end though. Not in a million years should he have attempted that pass, unless we were losing.
