    Papali’i banned for three weeks. That’s the rest of the regular season

    At least Choat is in good form and can start at 7

    Well he's been nursing a rib injury, so at least that will be cleared up. Choat at 7 and Akira at 6 keeps the quality of the loosies high, and the german has also been good.

    Effectively, it may only be 2 weeks if he's allowed to get a week off his suspension when doing that tackle intervention programme (assuming it's his first offence since that was introduced a few years ago). Waiting for the official decision from SANZAAR to find out.

    One of those games was likely to be AB rest too

    No indication of a week off for the course in this article.

    I assume he'll be getting another start soon as Sotutu will probably have an enforced AB break

    It'll be interesting to see what they do with Robinson. With Choat & Segner they have some good options in the loosies. However there is a bit of a squeeze at lock with Darry gone.

    The top locks would be Tuipulotu, Suafoa & Tucker. They are an injury away from needing Robinson at lock. It'd be worth getting him some time in the second row in the next 3 weeks, even if it's just from the bench

    What about him? In the 23 this week? Or are you suggesting him as lock cover?
