Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3156167, member: 1992"] Nope. I know he's a prop. He's also a very very young prop. I wouldn't use him up as a tool to blunt the opposition because he's more than a battering ram. He is quite light on his feet and can step and swerve a bit and for a prop, he's very agile. I'd use lesser lights, more limited props to start the first 15-20. Blokes like Kennedy and Offa. I'd rather they hold the middle and do the early grunt work. Haas is being used for too long because he has a big motor. What I'd be trying to get out of him is 55-60 minutes of premium high energy work instead of 70+ minutes of variable quality. His first 20 odd minutes seems wasted to me. I just think he'd produce better quality after 20 and the team momentum would lift instead of drop as it does seemingly every game. Haas, Flegs and TPJ/Fifita all coming into the game in the second quarter lifting the tempo. I'd use up the reggies first and if they cannot do the simple job I set them I'd sub them off but if they were matching their opposites and making metres then I'd reassess. Sure it's a risky strategy but where's the risk if the utter failure doing it the other way has become the norm? [/QUOTE]
