There's something that has popped up a few times, and is as crazy to me as the idea that every club is going to give all their hookers game time every week.

Some people are worried that certain players are going to get a starting edge spot, and then only play 50 minutes. It just is not going to happen

There were 768 starting 2nd rowers last year
523 of them played 80 minutes or more.
73 played 70+ minutes
90 played 60+ minutes

82 played less than 60 minutes
9 of those 82 were Frank Winterstein
Many of the others suffered from injury or HIA

So basically, out of all the starting 2nd rowers last year, only one of them (Frank Winterstein) regularly got low minutes.
More than 75% of them played over 70 minutes


If Johnny Edgeman gets a starting 2nd row spot, he will play big minutes every week.

You can be concerned about injury.
You can be concerned about players being dropped for form.
But if a player is regularly starting on the edge, he will regularly play big minutes.

He's burnt me twice before.
Do the numbers stack up, or should I just roll with the safer (and less exciting) Knight / Lawrie play?

Well if Lawrie is an option, then Merrin certainly isn't.

Personally, if Merrin is starting lock, I think I'd prefer him to Knight (I have my doubts that Knight is about to become a big minute lock)
We get to see them soon in the charity shield to make a call on who looks better

Like Robinson saying Crichton is Mitchell's ctr replacement or Siebold who says TPJ will play in the front row.
So in summary never believe what comes out of a coaches mouth.

True that.
I'll be watching the trial vs. Knights at Maitland.
I know the players will only get 20 min runs, but we'll at least see if he's back to his former glory RE fitness levels and impact.
You reckon Knight will only stay at the same minutes as last year?
