Bunty should start, he may as well absorb all the shit at the beginning of the game and keep the better players fresh.

I’d bring Erin off the bench to replace him. And bring some real intensity.

Start 3 props vs 3 props.

Bunty, Barnett and JFH vs May, Pole and Twal
We win that battle imo
And have a more impactful bench
I really like Clark starting. He sets our defensive line speed really well and it forces anyone who subs on to keep pace after.

Does it get too mucky with the interchange to have Bunty starting, emptying the tank tackling and decoy running for 20 or so, then bring on Barney for a big stint?
Keeps one of our big dog props on for pretty much all the game, and - while he’s no Tohu or Walker in this regard - Barney’s got some ball playing in him.
 
Could we do a kosi centre, am I wrong or was he the playing there (pretty well) prior to a knee injury in 23

*edit* I have since looked and seen he was winger I was thinking of Montoya was centre till he broke his knee
 
Guys please....are we back to Bunty?!

The bloke can't even make 100m a game, pretty much the bread and butter of a prop. He can't even do that, yet we're hoping for some miracle scenario where he's a gun 13?

Gaaaaaaamoooon fellas.

I can understand it, don't think it is a long-term plan.

If he comes off the bench, very simple role to run hard through the middle for 20mins perhaps.

Otherwise, could start him but only for Clark and I think it is better Clark starts
