If TL replaces Smith we'll have his field kicking game.Whatever ones opinion of Smith the idea of Tommy kicking on the 6th again just isn't on.
We have enough half backs and TL would, and IMO will, be stand in hooker.
I don't like 20 min on and and hour on the bench hookers as it doesn't work for us.
Powell can do 80 mins as hooker and as far as I'm concerned MM & TL have to go the same distance if we are not going to waste two interchanges on hookers. Waney has been able to keep his forwards that bit fitter and fresher due to Sam Powell doing the 80. That is part of the reason we could hang on in games and in many come up with a last minute win.
If SL goes to 8 interchanges then an 80 min hooker is an absolute must!
