So we judge players on their ability to milk penalties, interesting. |

| Quote bonaire="bonaire"Faraimo played 12 minutes at Leeds so dont see the point,the same with Johnstone who did 20 mins.
That said i would start him for Fonua.
Fonua used to get us several penalties in a game but now cant even get us set restarts so that part of his game has gone and Faraimo has a bit more pace and seems to make more metres.
If we are going to use Johnstone then i would start him and let Danny Houghton come off the bench which gives us a better attacking threat and keeps him a little fresher.
Its likely Bowden will be in the 17 to give us a bit more size and it will be interesting what he does with Brown.
Not knocking Fash for effort but Brown is by far the better impact player and has an offload in his game.'"
Did you see that off load by SKD at Wakey  |

I honestly have no idea what game some people are watching to suggest that Brown should be ahead of him. |

I'm not saying it's what I would do, but it looks as though Brett prefers to carry an outside back on the bench.
Fonua has done nothing wrong to lose his starting spot to Faraimo. |

As I've said before, Brown has the potential to be a much better player than Fash. He's stronger, quicker, more explosive and can offload. But Fash is far more reliable and is making much better yards after contact this year. I would like to see Brown given a proper run in the side to see what he can do, but Fash doesn't deserve to be dropped for him. |

I think Fash has been much improved this season and personally see no reason that both he & Brown can not be named in 17.
I’d have Bowden, Fash, Brown & Cator on the bench as don’t see the point of carrying Johnstone & one of Scott/Faraimo on the bench when they are hardly used. |

On the other side of the ball Fash is better in 1st contact, hardly misses a tackle and has a very good wrestle on him hence why his YAC is good and rarely gets put on his back.
I put it on another thread but Brown has to go on loan to a Championship team and play against blokes on a regular basis. |

Totally agree that would be my bench too and the only reason I can think why we have a back on the bench is due to the increase in HIA tests and the fact we don't have a backrower who can move to centre like a lot of teams have. |

Good point and in addition we probably carry a back on the bench because we do have a centre that can move to the second row, |

I think its more to do with having someone on the bench who could give us some impact.
We all know we are short on numbers but there is no one on the bench currently who gives us any impact when they come on. |

And we have a winger who can play fullback. And a centre who can play in the halves.
It might seem like a waste of a sub, and it didn't work out against Les Cats, but it isn't a ridiculous thing to do.
But maybe if people continue to criticise it in every post they make then Odgo will change his mind and we can just cross our fingers and hope none of our backs ever get hurt. |
