Walker

Mcgoldrick

Could not deicde between Jones and Aspinwall so it was just the toss of a coin really. Mcgoldrick over Milner was a touch one but if we are behind going into the last quarter I do feel a fresh Mcgoldrick could make a difference.

McGoldrick should be given a run at centre as that is what he was bought as but has never been given the oppertunity to play there. He has been moved about during matches and in the starting line up without ever complaining so it's only right to reward his loyalty. It will be hard on players such as Holmes, Emmit. Jones, Thompson and others but i am sure they will get chances during the season.

the only run mcgoldrick should get is to the airport

I cant see TM not picking Mcgoldrick, and the only position where he can fit in is at centre, i would be very surprised if TM didnt pick him there.
Im not quite sure whether we will go with an interchange hooker on the bench in Milner or if we will have 4 forwards on the bench, like last season when Hudson was given a breather Chase went in at dummy half, also Orr can do that as well.
I think that TM might go with something like this:-
1. Mathers
2. Dixon
3. Mcgoldrick
4. Isa
5. Youngquest
6. Chase
7. Orr
8. Fozzard
9. Hudson
10. Jackson
11. Jones
12. Snitch
13. Ferres

14. Widders
15. Huby
16. Aspinwall
17. Emmett

Its a shame to leave out Walker, Milner and Arundel but there time will come.
Start with Fozzard and Jackson, hopefully get a good solid opening 20 minutes from them and then bring on the younger pair in Huby and Emmett. Widders and Aspinwall to cover the backrowers and Hudson, like i said before, Chase and Orr can deputise at dummy half.

Bench: Walker, Fozzard, Milner, Aspinwall.

Maybe so but I just don't see where we can fit him in unless it's at the expense of Aspinwall. Some tough decisions for Mr Matterson. Isn't it good we've got some selection headaches for once, rather than having a predictable 17.

I think McG and Isa

I think McG and Isa will work good together. I've gone for a strong pack and bench. Aspinwall is a great defender ad can't afford to be left out.

I'm loving struggling to pick a 17 for a change. Walker, jones, Holmes, Arundel, Dixon, Thomson and Owen when fit have all gotta fight to get in this squad.

No place for McGoldrick because he's not only a liability he now has better players in front of him in every position he TRIES to play in.

On the other thread it says Isa is playing against the U20 on Wednesday,

Not quite, what it says isBelieve Rich Owen and Willie Isa are playin'"

Arundel should be first choice centre, isa and goldie should fight it out for the other spot.

So what your saying is Arundel is better than Isa?

Given that he has demonstrated his class in sl last year and the friendlies this year and that isa has played less than 1 full friendly at this time i would say yes.
