Quote: Saint #1 "Richards hasn't performed particularly well against the top teams so far this year, and I think we only need 4 props. Keeping Richards out means the likes of Masoe, Walmsley and Amor will be on the field for more of the game. As much as I rate Thompson, I think he hasn't progressed as much as hoped this season. It's understandable, he is only 20 after all, but Flash is the right option for this match IMO. Thompson has played once in the last 7 weeks, and it showed against Hull KR. Flash is a bit more mobile which will help with Leeds offloading game, and he also misses dramatically less tackles - one every 16 tackles compared to one every 9 tackles with Thompson.'"
You should start one of Jones or Flash, that way you've got someone fitter to do the running around in defence from the off.
