Very impressed with Addy tonight, looks strong going forward and great Hands, from this and watching him in SL the last couple of years I think it would be a big mistake him not being in our 17.

Addy is developing nicely, he would be in my 13 to start next season.

Personally I'd have Addy running out wide, as I think that's when he tends to really show up. The fact he has good hands too, would make him a really good provider for a centre IMO (in fact, I think he'd make a good centre!). With that in mind, I think I'd have him in the second row, with Bateman at 13 instead.

I've put Henry in, although I've never seen him play. More a "here's your chance, see how you do" situation. Mainly because I don't like the options of Purtell (who I just don't rate) or Luke George as centres, and agree that it's not Gaskell's best position. I'd like to see Donaldson get plenty of game time, but he's better when he starts rather than as a sub, and I'd want to have Addy, Ferguson & Bateman as the starting back row.

I've heard the bulls are interested in another centre playing in the World Cup, I believe he plays in Australia.God knows how they can get another overseas player in

Do you know who roger or just that we are interested in someone?

Plus those youngsters (I may have missed someone) we have a much better team than the last couple of years.

Done a good job of narrowing it down to 17 there

Haha silly sod

Think we all agree,with a fully fit squad how difficult it is to pick best 17.Without going back through everyone's 17,are there 2 the same

What a good position to be in for a change.Lets hope plenty of season tickets are been bought.Things could be on the up at last

Agreed. First time in a while we seem to have some real squad depth. With the exception of Kearney & L'Estrange, there isn't really a position where we don't have a backup option that isn't a lot worse than the first choice. The only position we're lacking a little in for backup is prop, but even there, Winterstein or Walker could play there if we're pushed.

I have to say I've struggled. I've kept swapping and changing and to be honest this is the team I'm sticking with before I change it again. It's nice to have some depth again.

Edit: Bateman, not Batman

I would love for us to sign Batman on a contract. I bet he'd make a good second rower. Also could use his car in Bullman's parade.

Not a lot of love for Gale...

Haha was just looking at who we have. I'd say

I do like it when there's a hard time picking a 17. Shows that we are heading in the right direction player-wise.

As we've not retained Langley, I think Addy should get the 13 spot. I think that his time playing in the halves will make him a better fit there this season and give us an extra option in attack.

I must of changed my starting 17 at least 6 times since yesterday .I think the difference in half back pairings is interesting and healthy,I'm sure FC will be having the same headaches soon. No doubt we won't have a full squad to pick from for the first game

I'm beginning to think 8th place is too low to aim for

In the words of that super group,S Club 7, Reach For The Stars

Id personally go

Kearney
Kear
Blythe
Henry
George
Gaskell
Sammut
Scruton
Heath
Nas
Addy
Ferguson
Bateman

Thought Addy was superb on the fringes for scotland, would like to see John given a sort of roaming role at 13 to mix it up in the middle when needs be, like evryone has said its not a simple pick can only be good for the future

I think Bateman is better outside and Addy up the middle. He is an outstanding runner.

We could do with him now.

Ben Evans into backrow.

Apparently that is the plan.

Now that Bateman has gone my team has changed quite a bit:

1 Kearney
2 Kear
3 Blythe
4 Henry
5 Foster
6 Gaskell
7 Sammut
8 Scruton
9 L'Estrange
10 Carvell
11 Winterstein
12 Ferguson
13 Addy

14 Diskin
15 Sidlow
16 Manuokafoa
17 Evans

I'll probably change my mind again tomorrow.
