Watkins isn't in the squad.

Diskin in for Watkins and I reckon that'll be the team. Ratu and Worrall to miss out from the 19.

Yup.

With Smith already moved out of the centres there's no mileage in shifting Senior out of there and bringing a centre off the bench.

Makes more sense to go with two hookers.

But better to go with two second rowers.

I think Worrall will get the nod again, with the team previously posted.

It will probably be very on hot on Saturday night,do you think it is wise for Buderus to play 80 minutes when we also have Diskin available?

Do you think its wise for our second rowers and props to have to share extra work. A hooker shouldn't take half the beating these guys do, and if he needs a break, we can cope for 20mins with what else we have

Diskin can operate in the back row for a short spell.Other teams who play with two hookers seem to manage fine.

Indeed, he'll never have experienced temperatures like these in Newcastle where he often played 80 minutes.

haha

True but he's now older and if he plays 80 minutes each week come the play offs he could be burnt out.

You know my answer to that. NO.

I think playing an extra forward would be more beneficial for the team.

Considering he has missed a large chunk of the season so far, he shouldn't be burnt out by the playoffs even if he did play 80mins week in week out from now until then.

As has been said, he did it for Newcastle, why couldn't he do it for us?

I think it's a bit of a disgrace that Watkins hasn't been picked. He's proved himself over the last few weeks. What a shame.
