@Crucial er ok then...although that would be pretty rare in a physical game like rugby (although Alaimalo)
But again, on him to do it, but ideally you can have him turn into an advocate (like JK) for others out there who are struggling.
Anyway, thats a completely other topic.
It's not really.
Take an example of a player whose spouse is having mental or physical health issues and they need time to arrange support and not go overseas.
Should the whole world be party to a description of 'family reasons' which winds up a gossip mill or should they be afforded privacy and the lists just state all unavailable players as 'unavailable' with a possible period of unavailability? -

I'd like a loose forward combo with 6.Finau - 7. L. Jacobson - 8. Sowakula.
That could go very well against the Drua. Probably not a combo for other games but I like it.
The other consideration is that BBBR is unlikely to play big minutes (or maybe even start) and with Lord not available (I think) we will be relying on Vaa'i to play 80 unless Finau can shift later in the game. Maybe K.Bosh on the bench allows a back three reshuffle late and some fresh legs for turnovers.
Don't forget Ah Kuoi who should be in the mix if he is fit.

I wasn't too far off with my team prediction based on who is still unavailable. Finau rewarded with another start after a strong game last round. That's probably the first-choice forward pack with Cane to come back for Finau. Some good impact in the backs off the bench.
