McShane also has the advantage of doing 80 minutes.
That gives us another bench spot and probably two extra interchanges. In the big games, that's quite an advantage.

Yes, he can do 80 minutes in SL, as could Roby a couple of seasons back but, it's all about how effective those minutes are.
Back in the day, they didn't have hookers on the bench but, a fresh player, taking advantage of tiring players around the ruck is an area that most sides would want to use.
It's not whether he can last the full 80, it's whether having a fresh player and quicker ptb, scoots etc, is more advantageous.
Again, Clark is excellent at exploiting those spaces.
