Move Berro out wide and play Houghton at hooker?

Houghton to hooker, Berrigan to centre, Hall/Briscoe to wherever. Sorry, our board is dead today.

I reckon the bench next year wil be something like:

Hame
Yak
Manu
Tansey/Hall/Briscoe

Berro is an 80 minute hooker and I think he will play 80 minutes at hooker next season (injuries permitting)

So you don't think we'l be giving Houghton any game time then?

Move Washy from 13 or play Berro there? Manu can play centre too if we desperately need him too.

I never worry about an injury to backs, deal with it if and when it happens for me.

Tansey will be starting FB and im pretty sure we wont be carrying a specific back like Briscoe or Hall on the bench. Yak also brings very little impact but is pretty good at getting us going in the first place, so i only agree with your Lauaki and Manu!!

When everyone is fit I would have the bench as

Houghton
Manu
Lauaki
Moa

Injuries in the backs then move Horne there and Berrigan, Washbrook or Whiting into the halves.

So you're going to start with Dowes on the bench who brings even less impact? Moa won't be amongst our first choice props as a quartet of Dowes, Yak, Shrek and Hame has good balance to it imo.
