@voodoo I'd be tempted to chuck Blackadder and Proctor on the bench, plus bring Clarke in for Telea. But yeah would prefer to see the same.

I wonder what the score would have been in Clarke had been in open space as much as Telea.

So he’s a better defender than Finau as well ?
Wow, Robertson really is clueless

One of the faults of the previous management was waiting an eternity before trying new talent.
There's plenty of new talent that may make a significant difference. Rotate the subs between games and give the new faces 20-30 minutes to prove they can make a difference.
e.g. a high work rate loosie, a seven fetcher or a centre that distributes. -

Akira is very powerful at close quarters. More of a wrestler than Finau, whose speciality is folding people.

I want a halfback that has speed and length in their pass.

You know it makes sense

Reece’s passing from the base might be the best. He’s quite good in that area, making repeated efforts around the ruck then arriving to clear the ball.

The glee he showed at finding touch off the boot last night might suggest his box kicking game could be somewhat lacking…?

Folau fakatava I would imagine be called up if perenara is out

Nah, his passing is nowhere near as good as it was when he made the ABs.
It was noticeable how slow TJP's passing was. Christie has a better pass but takes so long to actually pass the ball. If you are trying to beat the rush defence it starts with the service from the halfback.

Noah Hotham?
I suspect he may be close to getting picked. Not saying I would select him, but when he started looking like he belonged in Super Rugby this year he showed a handy running game, a crisp pass and the ability to clear under pressure.
He could be the backline selection version of Bell.

arguably less controversial - the pass is clearly there and the other options aren't doing particularly well. Bell wound up on the bench at times, and has some real issues in the core role (throwing).
Dont' worry though, the renowned thrower Corey Flynn will fix him
