Looks like the weather may do us a favour , as I fear on dry sunny track , they would run us ragged with their offloads & quick support play. Their pack is far more mobile than ours , & they have a superb offload game.
However, if it continues to rain & we have a wet, damp day this must affect their game plan far more than ours.
Whatever the conditions, as previously said , if our last tackle options - the main one has to be to put everything in the air to Eden ( he is an accident waiting to happen ) , we will be under too much pressure and our defence will not cope.
We also need to knock the s__t out of Gale - with or without the ball, and for once , our coach needs to use all 17 players, in order to spread the load.
The above is not rocket science, but it will give us a chance.

he never has stinkers though, never shirks or hides. a good sl prop for me

Agreed.i like him, no pack leader but certainly a good squad rotation front rower every squad needs.far and away above the likes of Mullally anyway.

Good engine, decent hands a bit of mongrel......hope he can develop into THE starting prop.

Think being an academy product rather than someone brought in helps not getting as much criticism. His metres made and metres per carry is very poor and well behind the other starting props, only McGuire and Golding are making less metres per carry in the whole squad. His defence is ok but nowhere near as good as some would say and I don't really does hurt people when he sticks to legal tackles. His carries and metres made on Sunday really aren't good enough for a starting prop.

Is this like a charity auction where you go on a date?
