I can’t disagree with anything you have said.
I just dont think a slow 13 with minimal ability to break a tackle it make a line break works for our attack.
I think Benji is working off the theory that we are constantly struggling to win the yardage battle, so we have no choice other than to effectively play 13 bigger bodied middle forwards.
I think he might be missing the point that this really hinders us playing expansively and using speed and tackle break ability to worry our opponents.
I think Doueihi is well and truly capable of playing the type of 12 role we need on attack, but is he up to making more tackles when we are defending is the million dollar question?
And as good as an edge back row combination of Samuela and KPP showed they could be in tandem earlier this season, neither of them have the explosive speed of Jacob Preston.
If we were any chance of adding someone with explosive speed such as Jacob Preston or Tallis Duncan who is also currently available for 2028, I think we would be nad North do all we could to sign one of them and tinker with who would be better suited as a starting 13 out of KPP or Samuela.
