Yep. Output was great.

The pie charts are the big indicator here. Hunt plays most of his minutes in short stints. When starting he usually played the first 20-24 minutes, and then a short stint of 5-8 minutes later on.

Cheers mate. And not much of a drop off when his minute we doubled, possibly tripled. We don't need him to do bigger minutes right now but it's great that we have the option.

Fitz only real error last year was his use of the bench with 5 min Tricky and using Fifita the way he did forcing others to push longer than they should, would have screwed the stats a lot.
Some younger fresher legs this year should allow a lot better rotation and more flexibility in reacting to fatigue on the run.

I think I basically said what you're saying. BHU was good enough to keep out Hunt. I think BHU is getting a bit injury prone these days and would suit lower mins, and Hunt is good enough to take the starting spot.

I feel like we all still have a bit of d*ck fingers Williams PTSD that will take a while longer to get past.
I agree, I think there is a bit of combo of remembering the dicks and forgetting the good play because he never got a proper chance to back it up by missing so much of last season.

They all have a preseason to impress Fitz for spots and I certainly can't try and take a guess at whose house is more or less trained down than anyone else's. Hope they are all killing it and can go healthy through preseason and play vast majority of season too.

If someone (whether I rate them or not) misses out because Fitz picks someone else on game day then so be it, better than just being able to pick who is healthy.

Dick fingers does worry me with playing Fitz ball with props passing so much.

I guess that's one way to approach it. I'm not a big fan of McInnes at hooker though, and I don't subscribe to the "Brailey doesn't run enough because he plays too much" idea. I think Brailey is running the exact amount that his coach wants him to.
I would just start him to take the initial contact in defence and as a way to rotate the forwards more and give guys like Jack Williams some game time.

Yeah. He did have a good year. He just plays a different role than BHU. He's in the conversation for the top 17, but not ahead of BHU for mine.

Wouldn't mind giving 10 or so mins from Toby to someone else. He's a special for an error when tired.
Yeah. This was something I argued for a lot going in to 2022. His minutes came down a little under Fitz, but he still played a lot of games around the 50+ mark and had a lot of 30+ minute stints. That could be brought down without hurting the team.

Maybe Fitz is going to shake the whole thing up. Start with the two bigger bodies and push Toby and BHU back to the bench?

Kiwi's/PI's pronounce **** wrong too due to their accent. Who is teaching SBW to say "Smith" & "six" & "fish n chips" correctly?
