I may get slammed for this but, Makali Aizue isnt the biggest either, and he does the same.

I agree, I can understand so many wanting Berrigan to play for the full 80 mins but he can cover other positions in case of injury. Having 2 props and 2 S/R forwards on the bench is not really going to cover an injury to a back.

Well if Whiting's on the bench then he can cover centre which with Bryne or Briscoe probably playing somewhere means all the backs are covered.
If Washy's on the bench then he can cover 6, enabling Horne to play Centre/where ever needed.

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!

Yes, fair enough but Berrigan can cover those positions better IMO.

But as soon as he moves from hooker we go to poop. (I'll pre-empt any 'you're poop anyway' comments here)
I'd much rather have slightly worse cover at centre than better cover there but much worse cover at hooker. Plus, of course, if we don't pick up an injury (a long shot, I know), it's a waste of a bench spot and means we either make a change for the sake of it, weakening the team, or someone has to play longer than necessary, diminishing their effectiveness.

We have plenty of cover to be honest. 2 props and 2 second rowers but with Washy and Manu able to slot into the backs should we need it. Berrigan must play 9, he is wasted anywhere else including 6 or 7.
