I've always thought we've got to have a spot on the bench for a utility, not just 4 big forwards too. What happens if one of our back 5 go off injured for the game, we can't put a prop or 2nd rower in the backline. McIness can take a spot in the forward or backline though imo. We take the utility player off the bench in case of an injury, McIness can take the spot of our lost forward or utility as I said.For me Trindall has to be at least be on the bench. Yeah, we will be a bit light on in big forwards as far as the interchange goes assuming that Can McInnes should hold his spot, but Trindall has shown his value.
I think Moylan knows that he can't afford to play too many sub standard games in a row
McInness is our utility. It is not ideal but Hynes could fill in anywhere in our back line. nikora is very versatile as well. McInnes could play as a half if needed for half a game.I've always thought we've got to have a spot on the bench for a utility, not just 4 big forwards too.

There is no opposition we play where Tricky should be on the bench.Horses for courses, depending on which Opposition we play, and injuries/suspensions in our own team IMHO. ie Even if Hynes/Trindall were both available, it is the right decision this week to go with 4 forwards on Bench against the Green Spuds.
I was meaning Tricky as an example of the Utility option, to clarify. Ie it could be Connor Tracey.There is no opposition we play where Tricky should be on the bench.
Still a big no from meI was meaning Tricky as an example of the Utility option, to clarify. Ie it could be Connor Tracey.
They have an 18th man for that reason now, right?Given the new changes to the concussion protocol, I think the bench should be expanded from 17 to 18.
There needs to be some sort of relief for the clubs, if it has now become easier for a player to be wiped out for the game. Two head knocks in a match, and half your bench is gone. An extra man on the bench would allow a key play maker to take the field if someone like a Hynes, Moylan, Moses, Brown goes down. They are going to pull players from the field a lot more now imo.

Vs St George play Tricky on the benchThere is no opposition we play where Tricky should be on the bench.
We have the bye in round 6. We play Saints and Warriors before then.Two headknocks and 1/4 of your bench is gone because the 18th man activates
The consideration to account for multiple headknocks is already in place. The question is do you put your utility in a 17 or 18 jersey and that will be up to the coaches.
Vs St George play Tricky on the bench
Hynes first game back, if he feels anything less than 100% in that injury throughout game pull him off
The truth is if all goes to plan the fourth spot won't get much game time (none all season at Eels apparently).If Hynes is named and plays the Dragons game like he’s said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trindall gets a spot on the bench until at least our first bye.
Fitz might want that utility value to cover Hynes as precaution until Graham is back.
Not saying I want Trindall or even Graham back on our bench but I could see Fitz going that option
We have the bye in round 6. We play Saints and Warriors before then.
Given how well Tricky is playing I'd be tempted to not bring Nicho back until round 7.
