Gaz obrien has been dropped AGAIN for tomorrow nights clash against Catalan. Bridge and Ratch half backs with Joel at centre and gene on the wing. Another new combination, but will it work?

Are you sure?
Is there a link?

Not surprised.

It's bad enough dropping players in form but now it seems TS is taking advice from rubber duckie

He knows it makes sense.

I'll wait until the side gets announced. Person with 10 posts gets inside info. Some absolute rubbish being spouted and believed on here at the moment.

Are you Gareth O'Brien? I'm not one to quote you on the number of post as RubberDuckie has loads and there mostly rubbish anyway. Who have you heard this from?

Whoaaaaa
So you have a gripe at someone and dish me instead.

I train with a few of the players and this is what they told me today. And regarding the posts I have made, if you look back over them they have all been bang on. Not one for making rumours, just trying to share the info that I get to spark discussion

I still have faith in GOB to an extent and think that he serves better in a combination rather than Ratch and Myler, BUT I am very interested to see Bridge play with Ratch.

I have never seen Bridge play at half back with my own eyes, but from the two games I've listened to he sounds like he could fare better with Ratch than the combos we've had so far. The kicking will be an issue, but that is true of all the pairings.

Superv IMO,
Back in the Cullen era.
Chris Bridge individually put on occasional displays that are on par and better than any I've seen from a hb bar Andrew Johns.
One time we were the knocking boys of SL with a fixture at high riding Bradford. Getting smashed and seemingly looking down the barrel of a gun as Briers got injured, all we had was Bridge.
He was absolutely jaw dropping, in that 2nd period he made Bradford look like Doncaster last week.

For me, Bridge brought the best rugby out of Lee Briers whether he was at 6 or at 3.

I'll be very satisfied to see Bridge and Ratchford in the middle. I have every confidence, the two of them will give a presence up the middle and they will be more than a match together to sniff out the presence that Pryce has.

If we lose this game v cats it will be down to the pack.
I only hope TS has patience to stick with it until the big guys come back in.

We seem to be trying things we did under Cull that did not work then. Monas at HB now Bridge.

I agree at times Bridge at 6 looked immense. But that was rare, Cull moved him to FB thst didnt realky work as he got I injured.

He found his best form when Gleeson left and he could play centre. I hope it works tonight, not a long term solution for me.

Only joking RD just a little bit of banter amongst friends

GOB has not made enough of the chance he has had and has been very unconvincing in the last three games. Conversely Bridge has been one of the few players to carry any attacking threat.

He plays a similar game to that of a younger Maguire at leeds, very elusive against the forwards and can create space from nowhere.
