I think Joel does need to come back in on the wing as he takes away one of our major attacking threats out wide with the kick to him.

Its an obvious tactic but it has proven success

Couldn't he swap with his partner at the appropriate play, just think of the confusion this would cause and merriment on the terraces when O'Brien puts in the grubber under the sticks instead for Clark to score, we would bamboozle every defence in SL...genius.

BTW I don't know why we are all bothering with this thread. Lefty, despite taking the time to join in, said it's a waste of time and TS knows best and we shouldn't be guessing or stating what our preferred line up's should be, we should just accept that we are foolish and be quiet.

His defence is, he was like a cat flap at Catalan.

Finally!!! If only some species that go the games had this view!! sick of hearing people bad mouth Penny....as iv said on other thread. He cant defend half a pitch on his own!1

Penny
Russell
Atkins
Wheeler - In over Bridge who doesn't look fit.
Monas
Ratchford
O'Brien
Hill
Higham
Sims
Philbin
Laithwaite
Westwood

Clark - Want to see him come off the bench and make an impact (like at Cas last year)
Harrison
Currie
Asotasi

Bridge & King to miss out.

What if Ratchford played Full Back in defence, and stand off in attack? Where in which Penny would then revert to full back to chime in to open space? Quite a bit of faffing around as to who to put in Ratchfords slot in defence (Currie perhaps?) But could be worth it...

Bridge stank the place out at Saints last week. Whether he's fit or not, he should be dropped on the basis of that display.

Smith appears to love bridge almost as much as rubber duckie. If he's even 80% fit, he'll play.

I think Smith is picking Bridge at the moment because he has nothing else... He isnt a stand off, his best days are behind him and he is partial to the odd injury.

Is his contract up at the end of the season? I wouldnt be surprised to see him let go when his contract is up.

I doubt we would have shipped the tries down the right hand side so easily with Bridge at centre & he did put Penny into space for his try.

Exactly that.
Sorry nico

No Harrison again tonight I believe.

Don't get this, he as been in the 19 last few weeks and not in the 17. If he is still not fit why include him in the 19.

I think Hill and Sims could do with the support of Harrison and England to bulk up the bench. Both can do quite significant game time too which will help when both are fit, hopefully for the Easter weekend.
