Hopefully we find a way to get Mason on the field at the end of the first half, perhaps at lock and making runs out of dummy half. He's obviously been underutilised lately.

While I agree with everyone that Klemmer is slow and past it, our opening 20 minutes with that combination against the Storm looked physically imposing and team looked good. I can understand starting with that, but perhaps get Klemmer off earlier.
Yeah...they need to either use him properly or give him a chance to improve his game in KOE Cup with more minutes. He already missed 8 weeks or so due to injury and needs some game time.

And Stef. We conceded a couple of line breaks in through a tired Stef. I don’t see the need to keep him on the field for the first 25mins of a match only to bring him back for the last 15 sometimes 20.
We need to bring our fresh forwards into the game earlier.
 
He has been playing in the backrow most of the season anyway. Aside from Hynes they are at full strength in the backs.

ok … I dont watch the Sharks every week .. I know he played in the centres against us at the start of the season… I maintain he is a big out along with Hynes and the Tigers should be a big chance this game
 
With Twal still unavailable Porter is pretty much the best option. Exactly what was expected otherwise - i had TDS in for Mason so Api gets a genuine break, but Mason makes sense as he covers more positions.
Tupou and Pap not ready yet but must be due back soon. Pap into the middle rotation at 13 and klem onto the bench with Pole starting at prop would be stronger for us.

Would have been by design 800k prop should be able to play long minutes.

Funny you say that.
