Did Hamlin get decent minutes here?

It felt like more then he got at Catalans but still probably only about 20-25 mins in total.

He did pretty well again I thought andlooking at his stats his average gain was good (Just shy of 8m). I look at him and see a guy who needs longer minutes though. He looks very fit and could be a prop version of Liam Farrell, churning up plenty of minutes with a high work rate.

Navarrete didn’t seem to be on long or was that just my imagination?

I am not sure why we are under utilizing our bench. Ganson had just got on, he orchestrated one attack and was off.

I think Ganson would have had more game time had Leuluai not been sin binned.

Watched the game last night - Powell had his best game so far this year. Tautai, Sutton and Hamlin were good.

Don’t think Wane trusts certain players in tight games. Last night it was evident he doesn’t really trust Ganson, Naverrette or Hamlin. Clubb, Sutton, Tautai all did massive minutes.

For example Sutton had played 60 mins came off for Naverrette had a 10 minute break then was back on for Naverette to finish the game.

Noticed it in the Grand final too a couple of years ago, Tautai didn’t play the second half.

Think it’s more to do with being solid defensively than anything.
