You may be right.
In the meantime, with the three backrowers healthy, I don't mind making Burns do it.
Talakai a good option too - agree with some others he hasn't been his usual barnstorming self so far this season though
i actually like teig out of the back rowers for that role, bigger body with good leg speed. also feel he has the best reactions out of them so might actually back up brailey when he runs. also can put on a good one on one shot when against bigger players. burns adds a bit more wild card to it but feel he likes to push things a little to much

Agree, I just don’t like too many moving pieces. Leave Teig on his side and only repurpose Burns when Nikora goes back to his usual spot.

Realistically Nikora runs his unders line so hard he could do it too, just is a bit one dimensional as a lock outside of that.
 
Taking my mother-in-law to the game on Sunday. She has never been to a live match before and only got into watching the games on TV because my son and I follow the game so closely. Hard to know what she’ll make of it.

She has a basic understanding of the game, but sometimes the finer points escape her. Which is fair enough. She’s about to turn 83, finds it hard to climb stairs (we are at the top of the ET stand), and is easily annoyed by anything. Still, I think she’ll enjoy it.

She’s also a big fan of Nicho, so if we win we’ll see if we can get a photo with him.

Nice mate.

"...and is easily annoyed by anything"

Sounds like a Sharks supporter already!
