The sub is obviously between Blease, Howe and Bennell... Bennell has never been successful, and Howe deserves a full game but I feel it may be him?

Thoughts?

Small Ground...will make it interesting as our gameplan must be tweaked to play on this Dump.

Blease for mine.

As long as it's not Morton. Worst sub ever. Both games he's come on he's been dreadful.

....but any worse than when he gets a full game???

I would be surprised if it was anyone except Blease, although Casey had a bye last week - so does that mean he is slightly out of touch and needs a full game to get into the swing of things, or just throw him in the end so play on adrenaline for half/quarter of a game (assuming no early injuries)?

Blease has been named as the sub.

Not a fan of small players getting sub duties

IMO the perfect sub is Martin as he can play in most positions on the ground

I hope the Sub Rule becomes extinct sooner rather than later

Reid for the bulldogs.

And Jamar rucks for three quarters with no break?

My belief is the opposite of yours. The smalls make the best subs and I think Blease is the right choice tonight.

Narrow-minded comment, in my opinion

When you look at the makeup of a side, the majority of players are small-mid sized.

If you are replacing an injured player, by the numbers, you're likely to have to replace a small running type.

With the way the game is played today, if worst comes to worst, it's better to concede a bit of height than mobility around the ground.

Stef doesn't need to start as the sub. In fact, if he starts as the sub we have no backup ruck, so Jamar gets no rest until Stef is subbed on.

Just by being in the side, if need be, he can be moved into another position as the side adjusts when the sub comes on.

Fairly straightforward, I'd have thought.

The substitute rule will stay and has been a success so far.

Sub Rule is going to be HUGE in the Finals....HUGE.
