Mini is more of a runner than Frank.
But frank through sheer size takes defenders. When already tired asking opposition to really commit again is gonna create space. Add in that they don't know if he'll pass run offload I just think in this league he'll be more effective off the bench.
With a back row of frank mini and manu is fine in any combo I'd say. Just personally feel with his personal attributes and the SL standard of opposition centres n back rows compared to the nrl and the more open less defensive style he'll be unplayable at times if you throw him in fresh against defenders already blowing
In the modern game benches have become a bit robotic and functional. A x factor player who can change the course or momentum of a game would be a massive advantage.
I'd like Taylor off the bench too and feka as his small mins wouldn't matter as 3 of Taylor watts Ellis have big mins so he could just up the tempo and bring some urgancy. Then abdull for some nous later.
The pack is very tasty imo and many combos. Hooker is really the only worry. Seems a few teams have this problem tho
