That bench is a bit light to compete with Saints. I would start with Philbin on the bench and start with either Davis or J Taylor at loose.

Dont think Taylor was named in the 19

Saints look sure to have a light bench.

I reckon it might be LMS or Paulo, Lees, Ashworth and Amor? Light?

I rest my case.

How is the one that Saddened listed light but one with four of Akauola, Burrell, Clark, Philbin and Davis not?

You have a bench full of backrowers.
Amor does play above his weight a bit...hardly a prop though hence couldn't get into Saints team last year.

BMM being rested or injured, or just left out? I definately think Philbin has a much bigger impact coming off the bench then stating Jason Clark should start at loose.

Well on Monday I saw him as I was coming out of Tesco Car park, I let him across the crossing (didn't realise it was him at first) and he hobbled over it, I did say to the missis when I got in that I saw him and he looked scoobed.

It's about time J Clark put a big shift in and made a big impression.

I know he, quite rightly, gets plaudits for doing the hard grunt work that goes unnoticed but so do Hughes & Ben C and they invaribly do 80 mins.

Clark at loose, roll your sleeves up and put it about son, Philbin off the bench.

I've seen Jace go tackle ×3/4 on the bounce more than once....and Davis too.
