Should Tapau Go Back to the Bench?

Spot on to both Tiger Watto and Willow with your comments.

Galloway and Taupau on the bench as we lose serious momentum during the rotation.

Footy is like a fire

Your throw all the fuel in at once (woods , Galloway, taupou) the fire will burn bright and we smash teams in first 25min like raiders. when they get replaced it fire fizzles out and we lose all momentum. and hard to reignite.

momentum is a huge physcologoical weapon in modern footy.

could you imagine a battered and bruised opposition seeing a fresh caged tiger in taupau come on and charging at you ? Would be a massive momentum shift to us that should carry to end of game.

if taupau can get same amount of minutes from bench than starting then what's the difference ?

Play taupau 20 to 40th minute and long rest at halftime and bring him on 60th minute to help team end strong

one of Galloway or Taupou needs to drop back to the bench.

Ava, Lodge and Sue cant control the middle in defence. Either one would stiffen that up.

Lodge is pretty good and does very well from marker and wins the tackle enough. Sues movement is good, but at times he is not strong enough in the tackle and Ava is a weak defender. Our starting middle 3 players are all good defenders. Swapping Sue for one of Galloway or Marty would give us better balance.
