Got to agree with you. Carvell has only missed one game and should come back into the fold if he's passed fit.
It's such a long time since Tuson and Watts had a game that surely the dual reg option is the ideal route to get them back up to match fitness without the danger of them breaking down in a first team SL game. Seems like common sense and isn't that one of the main benefits that other teams use the DR system for! Besides, who would we drop, certainly not Bowden who's pushing Pea for the tag of being our best prop as the moment.

And his lack of quality ball and direction out of dummy half stop us getting an early roll on and blowing teams away

You said we'd struggle to make the 8. Now sticking Heremaia on means we'll be blowing teams away after 20 minutes? Unlikely.

Not as unlikely as it is with houghton on the pitch

leave them as there are, doing a good job omo

Maybe it could be better though
