Was looking at our options for the back row, and can anyone see blythe playing anywhere but back row when hes fit and especially when ferguson is available, I think we would be looking a lot stronger than a back three of Addy, Olbison and Donaldson with Blythe, Ferguson and Addy I think this will help us compete especially if we can get one more prop in

Blythe is out for another month though. His thumb is still not healing correctly.

Agreed. Although would start with Donaldson ahead of Addy.

How badly did he cut his thumb?? What was he using a samorai sword?

I've seen the pictures was a horrible cut.

Would be Blythe, Ferguson & Donaldson for me,

Donno is always throwing himself about putting his body on the line,

where as Addy................... well, surely watching him against Cas is enough to make your own judgement

I'd swap Addy over to the left. He'd get more ball and defend less. I've never seen Olbison make a pass so it's hard to see the point of putting Gaskell at 6 for structure and playing Olbison outside him.

It's make or break this season for all three IMO.

We've lacked impact in the back row since Elima left.

Agree with having Addy on the left tho.

Mullaly was pure beast today. I didn't realise how big he was. Very aggressive too, and mobile. Would like to see him here full time. Get Mexico in and blythe and Ferguson in the backrow and we have the makings of a decent pack.

I would try and sign both Danny Bridge and Anthony Mullally to permanent contracts, both have big futures in the game.

Donaldson as immense last night. Got to build the base of the pack around him with Ferguson and possibly Blyte/Bridge as the other 2nd row. Addy not commanding enough to start in any position but great to have coming off the bench as a Utility option as could do a job anywhere on the pitch if necessary

Bridge and Mullally would be great to get in on a permanent basis.

Donno is looking quality atm

Thought Mullally added what we lacked against Cas last week.

Was interesting to hear the interview with Diskin last night before the game, he referred to Olbison as the best trainer, and probably one of the strongest lads he has come across.

Wasn't expecting that to be honest.

sport is full of great trainers that dont deliver on the field/arena
