Why would Kelepi be spending time at prop when there’s no 2nd rowers on bench?

Westerman will probably do a stint there like last week where he was very effective in getting plenty of second phase from offloads...it’s a brave call, especially with Battye playing his first game in months...hope we don’t lose a forward early or we’ll be up against it!

Is not crowther a second row ? - can't see any need for a relief hooker, and he's not a prop - wonder if green is the player that tested positive ?

Makes you wonder who's fit and who is not , gigot on bench seems an odd selection and once again no tangata despite him being available - seems odd when at best battye isnt match fit and at worst could be far short of that

Would have preffered to have Tangata on the bench rather than Gigot but time will tell if it's the correct call.

Is crowther not a back rower then..as for props the starting props wont do 80 mins so at some point a back rower which could kelpi or in your point be westerman but at end of day non props at prop tangata or aydin should of been on bench

If you watched his press conference from the other day he mentioned both Westerman and Crowther having stints in the middle, so I’d imagine those two will again? Crowther for me is not a 2nd rower...he’s a middle man all day long...he’s not the type I’d see running the edges like Kelepi. Both 2nd rowers should play 80 minutes as second rowers...

From our point of view it's a pity Sezer hasn't followed him. That guy will be pulling all the strings and showing our half backs how it's done.
That last minute chip and gather over the top v Leeds nearly snatched a win v Leeds last week.

Copy and paste this onto today's game update.
