2016 Strongest Line-Up

[Porthoz]

Thaiday has his moments in the backrow, but he is much more useful to us at prop, be it as starter or from the bench.

I think if we utilise him in some games in the second row it could be quite effective. Maybe for his second stint off the bench late in the game against a weak 3rd in defender every now and again?

Typically your 3rd in is a half anyway. And Sam does do pretty well isolating them, driving them back, getting good metres and a quick PTB.

I don't know if he'll be getting a "second stint" though, especially if he starts off the bench. If he comes on, goes off, then comes on again, that's 3 interchanges used up just for him. It's likely with the new interchange rules the benchies will get one good stint and that's it.

Yeah that's fair :) I keep forgetting about the new interchange rule!
