I think the value of Jensen has been shown since he's been out.
Big body, strong defender who takes the hard carries and strengthens the middle D.
The replacements - mostly Talty on extended minutes, Gos and Piki have not been close to that level or consistency bar the Dog/Tigers games.
Why didn't we seek dispensation to sign another NRL-level prop? Te Kura going AWOL as well didn't help. That's 2 of our front row bigs out almost all season.
There's green shoots with Semu, but we need to...
