Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3490246, member: 9052"] I think our issue at the moment is when do we sub Patty and Haas. Realistically they both need to come off at 30mins and then come back on at 55-60mins... except we don't like playing without them on the field and the risk is high playing without both of them out there, especially if Flegler is taken off at the 20mins mark or so. Last week we took Patty off early and kept Payne out there, except dragons started running over the top of us whilst Payne was out there... Payne went off at 50 and then came back at 70 to terrorise them. That's not really sustainable, because Payne struggled going that long straight and whilst giving him a 20min rest was beneficial, bringing him back with only 10mins to go is a risk as well. This week I daresay he tinkered with having Patty out there longer and then bringing him back on for the last minutes of the game. Whilst Haas was able to come off earlier and then come back earlier in the second half. We need to get to a position where the bench can be trusted to carry the middle with Patty and Haas both off... currently Jensen, Taupau & Palasia. I'm not sure Kobe will change that after his injury, but he will be a massive improvement on Palasia. It's another reason why Flegs off the bench helps the balance though... you take Patty and/or Haas off at least you still have an origin level prop to come on and keep the intensity. [/QUOTE]
