Yeah I’ve noticed some teams aren’t even using their whole bench. In previous times we have done the same or only minimal minutes to some of our bench forwards.The truth is if all goes to plan the fourth spot won't get much game time (none all season at Eels apparently).
So you pick to either provide an extra forward in case you have an issue there or an extra back/spine in case you have an issue there.
You could skew towards a forward who may have more use when game goes to plan, or back your other forwards in and skew towards cover.
Graham's best value to our team is he can play edge or middle but also 6, so when available he could be quite a good fit.
Then you hope you don't have any issues, or if you do that they match up with your best guess in the 17 jersey.
It probably makes sense to have a forward and a back between your 17 and 18 jersey, not two the same.
I’m happy to run Trindall on our bench till Graham is back. He either plays no minutes, 10 minutes at lock, or he saves us in the halves.
Once Graham is back then Trindall to NSW cup to play 80 minutes at half would be preferred for everyone I think.
