Because, in this case, Tupoumiua was sent on unplanned for Crichton (about a minute after coming off) costing an interchange that could well have been planned for Verrilis coming on early for Friend, with Friend coming back on for the last ten minutes.
Did it cost them an interchange though? HIA is a free change in NRL, I assumed the same for the WCC
I was trying to think how it affected their plans. Im just not sure. It gives them one less man on the bench, sure, but bringing verrills on for friend is only going to freshen friend up if they need him late.
I know coaches have different ideas re holding back fresh players.. but yeah, dunno
