10 interchanges and a sin-binning. Not sure how much we can learn about the minutes.

true. But if Tauk gets less than 50 minutes this year without Cordner I will be massively surprised

Has Aubbs had a spell yet?

no

Aubs & Guerra 80 minutes.

Okay 10 interchanges means it may not be accurate but I'll list the approximate minutes everyone got from what I counted. Not to the minute accurate but close enough

Evans: Came off at 25 minute mark, came back on at 49 minutes and went off at 72. So close to 50 minutes
Napa: Came off at the 30 mark, back on at 49. Got sin binned but otherwise played out the rest of the game.
Guerra/Aubo: 80 minutes
Taukeiaho: Off at 25, can't remember when he came back on. 40-50 minutes is what he got.
Liu/Moa: Around 30 minutes for Liu. Moa 38 or so, came back on for Evans late in the game.
Leuluai: Around 28 minutes, came back on late like Moa. Relieved Napa for about 20 minutes at the 30 min mark

These are not official times but only from my observation.

Free interchange. 4 min. Nikorima off and Liu on (concussion)
Free interchange. 17 min Nikorima back on and Liu off
1 @ 25 min. Moa on Evans off
2 @ 27 min. Liu on Taukeiaho off
3 @ 33 min. Leulani on Napa off
4 @ 34 min. Henderson on Friend off
5 @ 50 min. Napa on Leulani off
6 @ 50 min. Evans on Moa off
7 @ 58 min. Friend on Henderson off
8 @ 61 min. Taukeiaho on Lui off
9 @ 74 min. Moa on Evans off
10 @ 74 min. Leulani on Taukeiaho off
Note: 62-72 min Napa sinned binned

Oh well your times are much more detailed than mine. I did think I saw Taukeiaho come back at the 60 mark but couldn't really believe he only played less than 40 minutes. Liu was doing really good though so understandable

My times might be off by 1 or 2 minutes but I'm confident I got the players right
From the times I calculate the following
Taukeiaho had a 27 and a 13 minute stint for 40 min
Lui had a 34 min stint replacing Tauk but he also had a bonus 13 min subbing Niko when he went off for a concussion check
Napa played a 33 and 20 min stint but also spent 10 minutes in the sin bin for 53 min
Evans had a 25 and a 24 min stints for 49 min
Moa only played a 25 and a 6 min stint for 31 min
Liulani had a 17 and a 6 min stint for 23 min
Friend played 56 min and Hendo 24
Niko played 67 min due to concussion check
everyone else played 80 min

Niko might have more job security if Pearce has got himself in more trouble.

Sometimes, and in all seriousness, I think the Lurker is borderline narcissistic and says stuff like that so he can feel happy that people think he knows more than he actually does.

Nice to wake up to the running commentary lads, and cheers blue and JBG for the minutes 

So minutes wise Tauks a little under, Evans 50ish minutes, and Guerra and Maubbs 80, Friend 55-60 ish.

Ferguson went as roughly expected?  Good but some work ahead?

Oh, and did Latrell start and stay at Centre the whole game?

Yeah. Might have played a little wing for a period, was only keeping one eye on it at the end but that kid was awesome.

Verdict on JNiko? Considering him rather than Parcell

He looked clever little player. I was critical of his pace in one runaway, but he later sliced them open and prob finished with about 3 try assists.

Thought he was mainly wing with SKD switching inside. They worked together well though and Latrell looked good.

Cheers mate, and cheers GM.

he spent so much time looking dangerous on the edge he might as well have been an outside backrower.

Don't even ask where he defended, I don't think he had to do any

J Niko went better than Hastings but tough to judge against what was an absolutely shit performance from St Helens, was all way too easy
