Possibly move Griffin now into the second row,Fonua to centre and bring in Faraimo. Still think we would be better with Tuimavave at 6 .Ben is a good prospect but we lose too much from our attack when he plays.
Yeah, really tricky missing 3 of our best. I don't advocate moving our 2 centres, currently both in the SL top 5 metremakers, to different positions though.
I thought we'd moved away from the days of moving players around willy nilly. There's no need to change the excellent Griffin-Tuimavave centre partnership.
Ben Mac is our replacement half back and hasn't let us down so far. We've got Sneyd back this week so there's less pressure on him than there might have been with another week along side Houghton. As per Dave K's team we have sufficient cover in the second row.

For me I wouldn't start chopping and changing the side to move players to cover injuries unless it was absolutely necessary and especially players like Griff & Carlos who are in form in their positions. That's been the problem for years and part of the reason the younger players rarely advance as they need to be given the chance. It seems BH has faith and confidence in the younger players too which is refreshing.
Its simple, Sneyd back in with Ben McNamara in place of Reynolds, Cator in at 13 & Lane replacing Mau, bring Brown in add cover for Sao.
Connor Swift Carlos Griff Faraimo or Fonua McNamara Sneyd Taylor Houghton Satae Savellio Lane Cator
Bowden Fash Brown Johnstone
With Johnstone on the bench we can add some freshness and give Houghton a breather to get the best from him plus we have the option of moving things around a little if needed during the game.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
