TEAM LIST Round 6 vs Knights

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Seyfarth has a higher work rate which could be vital if it's close.I see Bunty as more of an impact replacement.

Seyfarth doesn't come on for long, and Bunty isn't a poor defender from the little I've seen of him.

 

[Adam Doobie]

They're using Seyfarth late in the middle, is it just me who thinks Bunty could do more damage in his place.

Just give him a run, I'm sure he'd be up for it.

Seyfarth is there for an injury cover, as he can cover second row too. His energy and defence is good enough to come on to close games out. We are only using 2 interchange forwards, one utility player then floating the last interchange until the last 15 minutes. It makes sense to bring Seyfarth on at that time, since if say Samuela or KPP got injured and had to come off, he could slot in there. Whereas if you had Bunty there, 2RF would not be covered well.

There will come a time when a middle goes down and we'll need Bunty. It's a long season and some of our middle forwards are playing long minutes.

If we were unlucky and and a second rower was injured Sione played some there last season and did a useful job.

If Bunty came in for Seyfarth he would not need to come on at the end, the rotation could be changed up so a good defender comes on late.

We have been blessed with no injuries or issues with our starting pack & rotation. Seyfarth as said, high energy & work rate. Bunty is next man up. Our forwards have been enormous. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Our backs & halves obviously injuries have forced changes, you would say next week TayMay back in the team. Possibly even Toa if he brains in Cup. Luai also in.

This is where Benji will have to make some hard calls.

I'd like to keep Tavana. For me TayMay back to left centre, Makasini left wing. Leave the right edge of Turuva & Tavana.

That leaves Skelton, Luke Lualilli or Toa on the extended bench.

But we need to get through tomorrow.

Jock unfortunately also back to the extended bench, unless we feel the need to rest Doueihi & his groin, doubt it but Jocks all round kicking game has been very special so Benji could argue with AD to have a spell to get his groin right. Or AD.plays & Api & Luai do all the kicking.

Good problem to have but if all fully fit... Again get through to tomorrow with the W.
