I've never heard that phrase. For us, one less headache, and one less tall to worry about.

Yet they replaced 200cm x 110kg ruckmen with a 185cm x 85kg forward.

Perhaps....now stay with me here...perhaps they replaced him because he was carrying an injury and didn't come up. Shocking i know, but very much possible. 
He was listed as an out (hip).
Anyway....in replaceing him they had 3 choices on who they could choose as it has to be from your emergencies.
Those 3 choices to replace him were...
1. 187x85 Newman
2. 186x74 Hewitt
3. 181x71 Cunningham
Guess which one they chose.
Conspiracy theory much?!
If Tippett was injured, and you knew it, why would you name three medium / smalls as emergencies?
