Lets look at it this way...
FB xxxxx Weitering Marchbank/McGovern/3rd tall
HB xxxxx Young xxxxx
C xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx
HF Silvagni Curnow xxxxx
FF xxxxxxx McKay xxxxx
R Pittonet xxxxxx xxxxxx
INT De Koning xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx
Sub xxxxxx
All the xxxxxx are 'smalls'
It shows us
2 key backs, plus a 3rd tall
2 key forwards, plus a 3rd tall
1 starting ruck
1 backup ruck on the bench.
Now in a perfect world, you sub off your worst performing tall (most likely ruck) and bring on a small with some more run.
However, if you get an injury to a small, then its like for like and you are stuck with the land of the giants.
So sure, there is a sub rule.....but it doesn't mean it helps you. If you start too tall, you will probably end too tall more often than not.
So IMO it comes down to who do you leave out? Pittonet, TDK or Silvagni.
Based on form last year, it has to be TDK.
When we dropped Silvagni we played without heart.
Now if Harry or Charlie goes down, sure, Jack and TDK can both play forward and we are fine.
The other thing there is, that Cripps likes to drift forward after stoppages, which makes us an extra tall (and slow) forward line. Dry weather days, it could be an advantage. In the wet? Very unlikely.
If Vossy wants to do something 'revolutionary' and go back to the past and have a 'resting ruck' sitting at CHB in the hole as your 7th defender, and have the other ruck as playing in the front half only, then we might be able to get away with having 3 rucks on the ground at once (inc. Jack)....it will result in us being 1 short up forward, or around stoppages, but its about the only way i can see it working on a consistent basis.

I think the only way Pitto, TDK and JSOS can play in the same team is If JSOS plays in defence.
Re: Last Practice Match v Sydney - DJC - 03-01-2023
I know that there was an extended bench last Friday but we did OK with Silvagni, De Koning and Mirkov in the team. Silvagni played in defence for the last 10 minutes but there were times when we had Weitering, Young, Silvagni, De Koning, Mirkov, McKay, C Curnow and Cripps all on the ground together and four of them in the forward line.
Tall doesn't necessarily mean lumbering.

It's a huge dilemma for sure - I dont know what the answer is.

I don’t think Friday’s teams have been announced yet but that seems reasonable if there are more players on the bench.
