OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

I think the players they have mean he fits in best at prop, but I've thought for a while I'd like to see him tried at lock.

Less phyicality at 13 would see him easily play 80, and I think he is actually very skilful. Is it imperative the lock be a play maker? They already have the halves and Api, and it's not as though Twal or anyone else apart from Doueihi is.

But I do think Doueihi deserves to start after this year and thought he did well at lock. Maybe if Latu isn't in the 7, Doueihi there and try May at lock?

It is defeinitely not imperative that the 13 is a play maker and nor it imperative that they play as a link. My problem with a May/Twal style of lock is that our halves are play what you see types and at the moment they don't have the time and space to see properly.

May could surprise me in the ball playing/link department but unless we recruit an alpha prop we probably need him more there. He could definitely do a job at 13 and would be a better option than Twal.

Sheens was right about his thoughts on Hastings, a fast thinker that can defend , is preferable over an extra prop out there this day n age imo.

We are aligned on that one Merlot and I get the feeling that our man Benji is of the same mind.
