i've just made a very similar comment on Warriors fans. 80 minute props for me are Thompson, Havard and Ellis (albeit playing 13). Its up to the others to maintain the intensity when they are used as subs, to ensure that we can play a high pace game or the full 80 minutes, and if we do, not many sides will be able to live with that. Our prop rotation this year is clearly something the club looked at with changes to disciplinary rules etc, and we've been able to turn out a decent pack when we've had injuries / suspensions every week
Earlier in the season, I thought the bench options like Dupree and Mago were really adding to us when they came on but there has been a drop off as the year has gone on. I do think a lot of that is just the fact it's a long season and the side has hit a dip but now is the time you'd like to see those guys make a real difference. One thing I will say is that their minutes have become a bit more limited as the season has gone on because of how good Thompson and Havard are and it does then become more difficult to impact a game. You look at Liam Byrne and limited minutes do not suit his game at all IMO and he's really struggling to get going. I'm not sure of the situation with Mike Cooper but if he does come back soon, I'd expect he'll be in the 17 and Byrne, Mago and Dupree will all be under threat then.
