And mine. Being replaced by tommy after 20 mins from the interchange bench.

That way we will have settled halves which i believe is important

I don't think Riddell is the right player to play in the second row. It must be the paper's attempt at finding something to write about. I'd give one of our reserves a chance before putting Piggy there.

Didn't Riddell play 6 at St George? I'm almost sure he did.
Don't know what else he played at the Eels besides 9.
If he's lost as much weight as some are saying then that might be one
up the sleeve for MM & SW.
Don't think they would start a game with Pig there but they could swap around during the 80 mins.
That would be left field maybe!

If Tommy develops into the hooking role he could very well be an 80min hooker like Cameron Smith?

More fire power on the bench then?

Just the paper fishing for stories by the sound of it. I don't imagine any player wouldn't suggest they'd be willing to play wherever the coach felt was needed.

I'd definitely give Leuluai 80, whether it be at hooker or scrum half or a combination of the two. He's too good to be off the pitch and has the stamina to manage it.

My thoughts exactly.

His footwork and broken field running means he can change a game in an instant.

I’d like us to be one of the first teams in SL to start playing with an 80min hooker and see how it goes.

Totaly agreed lets go with it, TL should be on the field for the full 80

I know a few other teams like Leeds have gone into games with just the one hooker but they've always rotated the likes of Sinfield and benched Diskin during the game.

Maybe it’s time for us to take that big leap forward and try something that’s not really done in SL.
