Message: [QUOTE="Art Vandelay, post: 2974704, member: 8304"] We only have middle forwards to draw from though. Lodge plays 40-50 minutes, Joe plays 50 minutes, Sims plays 40 minutes, Thaiday plays 35 minutes, McGuire plays 65+ minutes. Our third bench forward, Mago, only gets 15 minutes a game. If you add Tagataese to the bench he won't even get on the field, because at any given time we will have a rested Lodge, Ofahengaue, McGuire, Sims or Thaiday ready to go back on instead. The only reason to have a fourth forward on the bench would be to cover back row, and Staggs can do that better than Tagataese can while also covering injuries to the 1-7. Even if we use Sims to cover back row, I still don't see Tagataese getting on the field because Ofa and Lodge are capable of playing 55-60 minutes and with the benefit of halftime and a small stint on the bench will be more impactful than a fresh Tagataese.
