Someone explained it well, i cant remember who, but ill try regurgitate it.I don’t get the Bunty situation , great player , done very well pre season and I think would be a gun on the bench , replace Seyfarth , he defends well and can hit the line well , just not sure why he is not in the top grade ,
We have Sione and Royce for the middle rotation.. if something happened to an edge, it means alex can slide in and play 80 without impacting the middle.
If we had bunty on the bench we lose that ability and effectively have 3 middles.
Its not that bunty is bad. But we are coming 2nd. Our forwards are doing a job. It wouldn't make sense to change it when no one has put a foot wrong yet.
