Yeah, I think Staines gets it. But more so because he can cover a spine position.Staines/Tupou will be an absolute coin flip for round 1 if Ken is ruled out.
I think Staines has a slighter advantage over Tupou. Has the ‘x factor’ and size but Staines has been very good over the past two trials and was really strong on carries, plus has greater experience.
But tupou will be knocking very loudly. He'll be straight in if there is even the slightest niggle with one of the wingers.
