Backup for Jake and hooker replacement

[Kingbilly]

Lachlan Lam is an international.

Absolutely. Actually I was not surprised that he did well, it was the surprise he did well at hooker

Lachlan Lam is an international.

Kouparitsis would have been an international too if he had PNG heritage.

Having a rookie at halfback who is going great guns because he's a champion & having Lam at No9 if Jake doesnt play would be enough rookies in the spine for Robbo I think. If Lam needed a rest then I think Maubs would go to dummy half. No Lussick IMO.

I tend to agree. If Jake is rested, Lam to start, Aubo as backup utility and Poasa comes onto the bench.

Still, this new 6 again rule suits specialist dummy halfs and I reckon Trent would prefer that. Ask him at training could ya?

Nick is an International. Greece i think.

Lam started great last week but ran out of steam. Still a good replacement/ backup. But i would not rub out Hutcho as a 13 or 9 fill in. Has first grade experience and is big enough to get in the road of the opposition.

Correct, he played a couple of test matches for Greece with another Roosters legend in Michael Korkidas

So do I. Lam is playing well, so you don't need or want to disrupt that unnecessarily. Lussick's time and opportunity will come. At the moment, though, you would only exercise that option if we are in a desperate situation injury-wise. We are not there yet, fortunately, and I hope it stays that way!
