Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3104725, member: 9052"] Agreed... I got the sense last year that Seibs was relying on him in the same way that Green relies on Lolo. When things are looking dire for the cows Green usually has Lolo playing far more minutes, because he knows the cows can't win when Lolo is off the field. I don't think that is the same for us with Haas as we do still have quality on the bench. I suspect at times Haas was effectively playing lock as part of the middle rotation... from memory it would be TPJ off first at around 20mins (returning at about 35mins) with Lodge next at about 30mins (returning around 55min mark). Offa and Flegs/Carrigan would come on as props... with the other held back until the second half or late in the first half. At times Haas first break would be around the 50min mark with Carrigan/Flegs coming on... whichever wasn't used in the first half. I suspect this year we will see more minutes out of Carrigan at lock so hopefully that eases some of the pressure on Haas. I also recall Seibs mentioning that he believes TPJ works best with 3 stints on the field, but there has been some mentioning of improving his fitness so potentially increased minutes from TPJ will also help to ease Haas workload.
