i've posted on Warriors fans this morning that i think when Havard gets back (another week or 2) that Matty has a selection problem in that Thompson, Havard and Walters can all play big minutes at good intensity. With Dupree and Mago being the rotation and impact, i think both Hill and Byrne will find themselves out of the squad, but we need to keep them interested to cover injuries or suspensions as they will be valuable squad members if we are to go for the GF again
i agree for this week just the 2 changes
Its been a long wait for us to have a set of props that can manage to be effective for more than 15 minutes without needing a rest, and should allow a back to occupy the bench. Jamie Peacock and James Graham seemed to manage almost all the game week after week, yet we've had years of props being less effective despite only being on the pitch for 15 mins at a time.
Yep, good position to be in
with Thompson, Havard and Walters all capable of doing 80 minutes, then the use of impact from the bench will be crucial to some of our games. The game where Mago did his 15 minute cameo last season is a classic example of what we should be looking at (although i agree it should be more than 15 mins) in terms of someone coming on and making an impact
i personally think we have the best pack in terms of depth / rotation, and the capability to go at intensity for the full 80 minutes, without any drop off, and most sides wont be able to live with that for 80 minutes. they may get on top / dominate for a spell(s) during a game, but can they keep it up for the full 80?
