Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 2907894, member: 8923"] Nothing out of the ordinary with the comments. Oates will be in the 17 each week as he has far more utility than Mead did and he was in our 17 as the utility a few times last year. Thaiday, TPJ, Oates and Offa/Haas/Sua will be our bench. Wouldn't be overly surprised if Thaiday doesn't make the 17 some times, but i think for the most part he will so we have some experience on the bench. He's definitely not what he used to be, but I think playing a role in the middle will be better where he doesn't need speed. He got found out a lot last year when he played second row. Oates will likely get 25-35 minutes a game and is able to fill in at wing or centre if their is an injury. Having Jack Bird gives us so much utility. The bloke can cover every position bar prop, so having someone like oates who can come in and fill his centre spot, or shuffle kahu to centre and fill wing gives us a lot of options in case of injury / concussion.
