Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3230249, member: 9052"] It's the plan that works best for TPJ. He gets fatigued after 20mins so the only way to get decent minutes out of him is to keep subbing him on and off... I dont really have an issue with how he is being used and I think he will usually finish games in the 2nd row when Lodge and Haas return. I have an issue with Carrigan playing too many minutes and Bull & Asiata playing too few. Although Bull got through 30 mins so that's not too bad for him It can be difficult to get a gauge on proper rotation when you have a 4 forward bench. In a typical 2 middle, 1 2nd row, 1 utility bench the two middles usually get 40mins the 2nd rower gets a token 10-15min and the utility just splits with the hooker. Our bench basically has 4 middles and only two of our middles played over 50mins (TPJ & Carrigan). Carrigan dropping 15-20mins a game and Asiata picking up those minutes would benefit us more I think. If you bring Haas and Lodge in for Kennedy and Teo/Bull... suddenly we have a rotation where Glenn isn't playing 80 (TPJ can play on his edge), Riki can potentially get a break from Bull/Teo, and we get serious quality out of proper usage of Haas, Lodge, Carrigan, TPJ, Flegler, Asiata and Bull/Teo rotating through the middle. That's a lot of high quality middle forwards that we should be able to rotate well and keep fresh on the field. The wild card is whether we can get a quality 80mins out of Turpin consistently [/QUOTE]
