if cowboys train for AD to play the 7 role and 50 minutes i he switches to the 13 the you have a very potent ball runner and someone who can ball play through the middle.
Madden comes on and plays 7 our attacking threat looks so different to what cowboys would have prepared for.
Good option to have

Not a fan of swapping half's around mid game very very Sheenuis have Madden come on play 25 minutes at hooker to give API a rest and if there is an injury in the backline then start moving the deck chairs

Madden on the bench gives flexibility to the backs to cover injuries

They're literally named side by side (Hence the comment)
Carryannis also said they were training next to each other in the last few days.

A whole edge with less than a dozen games experience is going to be a target.
I wish them luck.

Still even if that is the case , most teams are left dominant so yes it might be a concern , but the right is where the damage is mostly going to happen. I thought they defended really well and stuck totally he systems against Penrith in that second half .
Instead of seeing it as a negative , Benji has the option to put Skelton and Herbert in , and went with the youth . Which should indicate how well they are doing .

@Mighty_Tiger you don’t think Jock Madden coming on at 13 and Tristan Hope coming on to give Api Korisau a rest would work ?
I noticed the Panthers played Jack Cogger at 13 moving Yeo to prop during their win against the Broncos and as good as Yeo has been in that 1st receiver ball distributor role over the years, the Panthers looked much sharper and more dangerous in attack when they had Cogger at 13.
I think this could work for us with Madden playing a similar role as to what Cogger played for the Panthers against the Broncos.
Having a much smaller man spending time defending at 13 is always a concern, but in these early rounds, particularly if it’s a warm afternoon, defensive line speed becomes very valuable and the smaller more energetic players certainly have capability to demonstrate much better defensive line speed than the bigger men.
This is why I think it’s absolutely vital that Api only plays a maximum of 50-60 minutes so he can refresh and allow Tristan Hope who demonstrated great defensive line speed during our trial games to come on and make a difference with his high energy and more physical and aggressive defence.
I think we often attribute winning the yardage battle solely to power running and we certainly need some players who carry the ball very strongly, but defensive line speed is just as, if not more important.
The possibility of Jock Madden digging into the line off a fast play the ball and feeding Doueihi or Luai with momentum, time and space to play would cause chaos to the Cowboys defence.

Don’t see Jock at lock, just don’t see how that works defensively. Get what you’re saying re attacking zone play but think AD would add more value than Jock in that role.

If I was to limit Api’s playing time would prefer to start with Hope and then bring Api on. Hope isn’t a great runner but Api with fresh legs around tired forwards could be lethal.
