Also note that Gardiner and Ben had been basically sharing one slot with TOGs of only about 56%.
As Gardiner does not have to worry about getting up for a game the week later his TOG can be ramped up.
Taking a 31 year old who has been playing 50% game time then throwing him in solo and making him ruck 80% of the game huh? Sounds like a recipe for success.
