(Light on for ball playing lock)

@garry I would start Seyfarth at lock to start with but hopefully by mid year someone like Faagutu or Kit can replace him. We are a bit light in 2nd row and a ball playing lock. We have some great young forward coming thru but they need time and development.

I hope Benji looks to tweak things slightly in our forward pack, to get more of that Alpha prop we need but also the ball playing lock.

If consider something like 

Stef and Klem -  starting props

Pole and Matamua - second stint props

Twal - starting lock as a defensive middle for first 25mins of each half

Kit - ball playing lock last 15 mins of each half.

I'd like them to say to Stef, Pole and Matamua - just run as hard as you can, then play off the back of that. Anyone remember Poles run off the kick off against Canberra? We need more of that from these 3.

Get Twal simply to tackle everything he can and clean up the ruck. Not fussed on his hit ups as they are pretty slow. Just tackle and keep the middle tight.

Kit is a different body type - give him the last 15 mins to run at tired defence and cause as much havoc as possible

Bit of a gamble but looks to the future and gives us different types of forwards to create some uncertainty 

We need more impact up front, hopefully one of the young guys can step up here.
