So looks as though Hess is going to be on the bench - 50 to 55 minutes is what he will get and this will be his role for the year unless injuries strike. Could still average around 40 in that time.
Fensom will start playing 25-30, then off with Lowe to move into lock until the 55-60 minute mark. Fensom to come back on then and play out the game. Lowe done for the night.

Bolton, Kaufusi, Asiata and 1 of Spina/Hoare/Jenson/Uale to rotate through the FRF.

When Lolo returns I expect Fensom to stay in the side over Spina/Hoare/Jenson/Uale so I think those getting Hoare in are wasting a trade unless an injury happens again.

He looked phenomenal. Taking down big units effortlessly. Watching the game felt like he deserved more points

Pretty much everyone on Cowboy forum wants him playing off the bench for impact from what I've read.

This is a bold assumption given he only played 30 minutes in regular time with no injuries in round 1.

I don't doubt he will get more minutes, but no one actually knows how that will actually play out over time.

I guess what they want and what the coach wants are two different things.

In all honesty, I don't think I'd be scared of still bringing him in if he's on the bench.  Could go Abbo instead, but still want to take a punt on him.

This is my assumption with what will happen. Green isn't stupid and knows Hess is still young and will provide better impact on the game not playing the first 25-30 minutes and getting tired. It's a long season and playing your strike weapon for 80 is not sensible.

Will probably average just as well because it probably ensures he continues to bulldozer over for tries regularly. I just don't expect an 80 minute Hess anymore for the next two weeks like I was hoping, so I went with McGuire for the long term. Not happy with his 41 given Hess will score about that.

The coach probably wants the same. What he wants and what fantasy owners or prospective owners want are two different things

Matt Scott out for the year probably means he gets 50 minutes going forward. Just a gut feel.
