Also, do you have Rodwell playing all the first half, then starting the 2nd until 65 minutes, and then changing him for Shaw? Ky's a monster with a good engine but I reckon a 65-minute stint would be pushing him a bit.
Rodwell played full 80 minutes at second row so yes I do have him playing the whole first half and part of second.
The minutes were an example to show it’s possible that’s all to rotate 3 props.
He could go off at 60 if needed but pushing an extra 10 m in utes or so out of Rodwell and Uele (who haven’t looked gassed much this season) will imho be our best move. It’s a needs must scenario.
Is it ideal. No. Is it better than moving players around and playing edge players in the middle weakening the edges and possibly upsetting the defensive line if players are unfamiliar with the position. Yes.
I’m just not a fan of patching a position and therefor weakening another. Others could have different views.
I will though be happy with whatever Powell goes with. He’s got it right so far afterall.
