Pretty much what I'd go with.
Except I'd have Johnson on the bench for Olpherts (but that probably won't happen).
Give Tommy a rest this week.

Personally I’d rest McDonnell. He’s been good but he’s played a lot and I’d give him a rest and play Bentley and Tet in 2nd row to start.

I’d run Martin at centre again and rotate the props a lot plus Johnson off the bench.

Good that Smith has choices.

I concur. We’ll need McDonnell the following week when Bentley is having another week off.

Macdonald

Sezer
Holroyd
O'connor
Oledzki
Tetevano

Johnson
Sangare
Lisone
Walters

Blow them away down the middle plus carrying an extra prop means Oledzki can be eased back in with the minutes he does.

Swap Oledzki with Walters and thats the team id go with.Good to hear Smith taliking positively about Johnson.

Johnson needs game time, even if its just cameos for now. He's got to be ready if O'Connor gets injured.

Exactly OWL.
If O'Connor gets a bad injury, we are exposed.
So, Johnson needs to be on the bench and getting 20-30 mins every week.

If Oledzki is fit, I would be looking at resting 1-2 of Holroyd, Tetevano and McDonnell. Holroyd and Tetevano have played every week so resting one of them will likely be of benefit to them (Sangare and Lisone have both already missed matches).

Likewise McDonnell has never played so much consecutive SL rugby, so rest him for a week. I would then be looking to rotate if they stay fit to enable our players to stay fresh. Martin and Smith can have a week off in subsequent weeks: a luxury we have not had for quite some time.

Couldn't agree more.
