worked under coach Morris but really that 4th bench spot gets so few minutes now it shouldn't really matter unless there is injury
Even with a debutant back and a peg legged Fifita Royce still only got 16 minutes on the weekend (a 12.5 and a 3.5).
7 middles sharing 240 minutes is approx 34 mins each average and 6 (only 3 on bench) only takes it up to average 40 minutes each.
And you don't really have the number of interchanges to take advantage of rapid rotations to try get the most out of the big boys.
Better to have someone who gives you some flex to cover for injuries, even if just 15 mins until an HIA is passed.
Fifth line.
