How should I set up my bench this week

Smith
Fifita, Surgess
Arrow, Taumalolo, RFM
ARey, SJ
Fonua, Isaako
Ponga, Mbye , Tedesco

McInnes
Murray
WGraham
Kikau

That's the current set up

Doueihi, TMM, JFH, Martin 

Not risking Martin off the bench and playing Monday

Welshy I'd consider playing JFH over Kikau if Kikau is coming off the bench.

Otherwise looks fine

Had thought about that mate, ideally Martin was still starting because he would be straight in

RCG backing up as well after a great origin debut may take a rest, Not much in the minutes between Kikau and JFH, so comes down to Kikau busting a few vs the solid base stats of JFH

Or drop Wade and Play them both?

Think i might have to loophole Douie(via Gosi with Martin), could go big at centre v Titans

With James in contention for a Origin spot( injury replacement) , Wallace & Arrow backing up , dont think it will be an easy game for Rabbitohs.

They will be fine mate, no need to use Cook for more than 15 minutes...

Think I'll give Matterson the flick.

Bring Cleary in for him and keep Murray at least one more week.
Matterson can come back in after 17 if he is fit

You got the trades to get him back in safely mate?

I'm in the same boat bro. Traded out Cook last round so would be happy to see him play 15/20 minutes

Who gets cut from this bench(Cook is there obviously)
Sua,Murray,Martin,Lane

I wouldn't take the risk with Martin mate so him

Fuck, I have Cook, Crichton and Murray. This news just fucked with my mind.

Murray will start at lock with Sam pushing to the edge.

Jeez, I'd like to know everyone's plans with Cook now.

So how many minutes will Cook & Crichton get? Would it be fair to say 30 minutes max for each.

Doubting that.
How many trades do you have left?

Welshy wrote:

I've got like 6 spare trades, so as long as not too many people get injured or lose form I'll be OK.
That plan involves holding Dugan though, so who knows what will happen

I like it. Flip a coin with JFH and Kikau though. I'm hoping JFH bounces back with some good minutes and a big game. Martin may even end up starting on Monday.

I'm thinking they both get at least 50.

I'd say looking at Tatola and Clark playing 30 for the Twins, rest I don't know Murray probably getting 50/55

Will be decided on how the game is going, if they are losing expect to see them both getting on the park early

If they are already on the bench they must be somewhat struggling so 30 minutes could be right

If the bunnies are winning well, then Cook might end up getting very little time at all.
The souths bench utility often only plays game time to cover injury
