Question

Do you think everyone thinks we need a bigger bench?

Not sure, haven't heard it mentioned much.

May be an unpopular opinion but I also think we need a bigger bench. Seriously expecting us to get out muscled by this mob.

We have the potential to get towelled up by the bigger packs come finals time. It doesn't help that one of our bigger guys in Taga has only cracked 100m twice this year.

So Taga is gone for a month. I reckon JSL or Capewell will end up on the bench this weekend.

I thought everyone was. Has anyone ever seen a bench in the modern game without a prop on it? Usually teams will give a random reserve prop a go before going so light.

In reality though modern day benches usually consist of 2 middle third players, an edge and a utility/hooker

And really that's exactly what we've named.

Strange feeling about this game
Friz,Thompson and Dugan all back. Its the last chance they have to stay in the race this year. Saturday at Kogorah. Obviously we should beat this lot and I certainly hope we do comfortably but think it might be closer than most expect.
