I'd be surprised if both Toby and BHU are fit/close enough to be named, but neither ends up making side.
Possible, but I think unlikely.
Easy replacement for Burns.
I dont want them to jump straight in, send them to jets for a game or 2 for fitness haha. Burns also not needed, already have williams and talakai that can play middle and edges (McInnes also if needed) .

I want to see what Atkinson can build as utility playing in the middle, has speed, plays with energy and enthusiasm, could also be a pest to piss off or put off opposition haha. Covers entire backline and can play hooker and lock, best utility option i'd say. 3 big forwards on the bench is all we need, and we got good impact with Williams, Talakai and Tuks. Get Atkinson involved more when he comes on playing in the middle, sprint out of dummy half, support plays, do some ball playing in the middle etc i think he can be a danger man off the bench for us

Atkinson how long if playing in the middle?
Williams 40-60
Tuks 10-20
Talakai how long if playing in the middle?

Burns might have to be the go there even if it’s less exciting.

On fitness, how unfit can Rudolf have possibly got. If the ankle is good I’m sure he’s fit enough to play 40ish

BHU in Jets wouldn’t hurt

Sifa in the middle isn't something I wanna watch.
Yeah, he needs a bit more work to play in the middle. Admitted himself that he was blowing hard and needed the rest

Given our current injury crisis I would only imagine this would be very short term to just get us through it.

Atkinson 10 - 20

Talakai not sure how he's going to handle the middle

Rudolf can have a run with BHU to test his ankle. Struggles to play 20 when he comes back from injury haha so i'd see them both playing Tuks minutes returning from injury

A bench of three blokes who can only play 10-20 would be a concern

We got rolled by a tigers team that didnt use 2 bench players, we'll be right haha.
They were the team that didn’t have injuries that game

If you could guarantee no injuries that bench might be okay

Burns will play 10-20 also. I wouldve prefered Talakai back at centre and then got a senior returning player. Otherwise put Burns on bench with Tuks, Williams and Atkinson, moving Talakai back to centres. Last weeks team, with Talakai at centre and Nikora back on the edge
