Yes, but part of BOTH centres' increased workload is down to the absence of the extra defender in the middle squeezing them both in, rather than just which of them the hooker stands outside.

I don't think we're at odds here. Over-loading the inexperienced Keinhorst/Burrow combination was a no brainer as it would also lesson the threat posed by Burrow out of acting half once Hood had played his debut starting cameo.



How desperate must the CEO have been to secure a starting hooker when he knew he'd be unavailable in potentially key matches down the line. An admission of 'oops I've f[i**ke[/id up here' in releasing Diskin then Buderus without confidence in the line of succession... perhaps.
