Sims is the one that needs to aim up, he played SOO last year and was basically bought to replace Jesse and play in the middle. Maybe an edge if required, but at the moment I'm not sure he's even plan B there.
Moeroa got game time because of injuries and did little until a couple of games before he was injured. Don't think he's ever managed 30 minutes in a game?

He could work if he's just replacing King for 20 minutes of high energy mongrel but we can't rely on him for big minutes based on his last couple of years

I think this was the first game Tui, Nelson and Christian have played together since 2021?

It would be, yes. Welch only played rd 1 last year and Tui was stood down until mid year then Tui and Nelson have both been hurt this year.

Surely Tepai would add more than sims or anderson on the bench. Even if he just gets 20 mins of work in. We have enough players that can cover other positions that we dont need a backup winger on the bench.

No argument there, it's more who do you drip from Garlick, Asofa-Solomona, Pene and Eisenhuth

Comment of the season, gold, I had a massive laugh when I read this.

Only good game Tepai had was when he was pushing off the back fence against a demoralised Warriors on Anzac day last year. I wouldn't say consistency is a strong point

The same match he fractured his shoulder blade in iirc….

No, that was the next round against the Knights, I was there. Came on, scored a try and did his shoulder returning the kickoff. 3 minutes of mayhem.
