I'm not happy with leaving Richie out, but I think GOB deserves the spot. Also I am putting Ben Currie in the centres with Joel on his wing.
Really disappointed not to see Bridgey on the team sheet

Currie to miss out.

Ratch has to be in the halves. We have enough cover everywhere else but in the halves and he deserves to play.

Ratch/GOB, Myler to miss out.

Ormsby & Asotasi to miss out.

England isn't in the 19.

Oops my mistake well guess Asotasi plays then.

Am I missing something with the Myler/GOB partnership? They looked clueless against Hudds, only picked up when Higham and MMonas were on at the same time.

Ratch has to be in the Halves, just has to be

GOB's kicking and vision with Ratch's off-the-cuff running is our best chance with what we've got.

I prefer him at fb coming into the line out wide like Hodgson did. Russell is fast but doesn't have Ratchford's technical ability on the ball.

I completely agree.

Although Russell is doing what he does pretty well and to drop him might seem harsh, the benefits of having a full-back who plays like a half-back is my preference too.

Better to have Ratch, a good half, in the halves than to replace a capable FB with him. We're light in the halves, he's needed there.

Ha! Saints have 2 fullbacks as halfbacks, with a combined age of 65 in Hohaia and Wellens! We dream of having options at halfback
