The fact Springer scored half of Lowe's career tally in one game proves my point that Springer is more than just 'slightly' better than Lowe.
The fact that you believe the amount of tries a player scored in one demolition of the opposition, without taking any context into consideration, makes your argument as weak as Jonah Lowe scoring 4 tries against one opposition.

Assuming they are all out
Tuipulotu - McWhannel will start but we are almost out of locks in the squad. Suafoa isn't listed as injured so I guess he comes onto the bench
Eklund - based on previous selections Mullan starts and Pole on the bench. Almost zero experience between them
Papali'i - All three opensides are missing (DP, Choat and Segner). Hainsworth-Fa'aofo would be useful now.. he hasn't been playing in the dev side so I assume he's injured? Clark onto the bench and we don't have a specialist 7 in the 23? Maybe Pieta is an option?
Have I missed anyone?
The injuries are starting to feel like 2012

Yeah not expecting much tomorrow now. 2015 and 2018 were the same too, where we were going round the local club rugby scene to find players haha.
Still, no point feeling sorry for ourselves, good chance for a few youngsters to make a name for themselves.

Suafoa is not available either
Well that makes things difficult. The only other lock option in the squad is starting at 6. Pick another loosie and have no specialist locks on the bench?
Any other locks training with the squad?

Is this the situation that they can get a loan player from one of the other franchise WTG’s?

Springer has scored 13 tries in 19 games which equates to a 68% strike rate and he's only 22. Yes, he scored five tries in one game but considering that was his first appearance of the season, it can't be underestimated. Lowe would have fluffed half the opportunities Springer had over the weekend because as we all know, he's just not that good.
Lowe, in his 8th season with 10 tries has a 26% strike rate but apparently Springer is only slightly better than Lowe.
Real good argument from you.
