I really hope that we don't leave Healey on the bench til after half time again.
I'd like to see him come on with 10-15 to go before half time, and then once Egan comes back on with 30 to go, maybe he gets switched to lock for 5-10 minutes to give him a bit more time, but also to see how he goes there. Would be a big string in his bow if he can add that to his game.

I actually really like the team. I think we'll win, or go pretty close to it.

Interesting that Ale is on the bench, I feel we've kinda lost our way in the forwards a bit and haven't been able to make much of a dent or bend the defensive line. Hoping that he finds his way into the top team come game day, could be another little redemption story if he gets picked and plays well.

Also, still early days but hoping Webby cracks a Fat(ialofa) and puts him on the bench for a debut this week.

Ah, dreams are free haha

If he plays Egan for an extended period after just coming back from injury then AW is getting desperate IMO. I agree, a 25-30 minute stint by Egan and then Healey on. Egan can finish off the game if needed.
