I thought he was considerably better than Morris at the weekend.

centre on the bench unless they already have a "utility" back
starting. In your normal "5-3 split" bench, the 3 backs will
have to cover a potential 7 positions. It's the norm to have a
specialist SH and a specialist FH on the bench to cover injury
in those key positions. That leaves 1 back to cover IC, OC, W
and FB. Common practice is to have your straight centres on the
pitch to start with, then if/when you make a chance in the back
line, you will see the back on the bench who can play a number
of positions to slot in and the rest of the backline shuffle
around to match.

any other changes like the OC moving to IC, Wing to FB, etc) is
dependent on the player coming off and who is best placed to
fill their spot from who's still on the pitch...

Yes, I completely agree and accept that. Was just saying that if
Saili is not first choice then he really doesn't have any
involvement at all, so we're presumably paying a lot for someone
who is regularly injured and when fit doesn't feature that much

Ross missed as many tackles and dropped the ball 4 times while
making fewer metres, beating fewer defenders, and giving away
two stupid penalties.

If Morris hadn't run away from attackers or been in completely
the wrong position a fair bit of the time he might have been
forced to make a few more tackles.

If your fullback is making lots of tackles someone else has
messed up. Usually Ross.

And the pass straight into touch in the first two minutes. I
think he needs time to grow into games sometimes.
