We've played one game under the "new era". It was the first game of the season. Against the champions. No sense in chopping and changing things, dropping players for one average/bad game. That doesn't foster confidence in individuals, allow players to improve, and help build partnerships on the field.

Keeping things as they are for now is the right move.

Is this the latest info? He was in the squad. Thought Brown would have been the only doubt not Roberts.

no but arguably russell probably shouldn't have been in teh squad last week, personally id have given mitch a chance in place of him, russell versus brough's kicking game terrifies me.

With Russell on the wing we always look vulnerable defending a kick to the corner and we can't make the most of our own attacking kicks to the corner. He is a good runner and ball carrier but is that what you look for in a winger over good positional play and ability to compete for the ball in the air?

Yes I saw Roberts in the squad.
Just thought I'd try to beat Longbarnwire to the punch for once. Longbarnwire is very good so I had to make sure my call is a good one.

You also said that Patton was out for 2 months....

I thought I said he pulled a hamstring and was out for up to 6 weeks? Anyways good news I was wrong then, otherwise we'd be struggling tomorrow.

8 weeks.. (quote)
"Have it on good authority that Patton is out with a hamstring pull and will miss up to 2 months of rugby".

Let's hope you're wrong about Roberts.....again

"Up to"


Let's hope I am wrong, nobody likes a smart A.

Leave me out of it

I've heard Roberts is in fact not playing tomorrow. Aggravated his knee last week. Nowt wrong with Patton. So expect him and Brown in the halves if Brown passes his head test.....

I heard Patton is out for a year. If he plays tomorrow, I said UP TO a year

Hans Christian Andersen stories were more credible than the fairy stories on here.

Only passing on info that i have been told pal...

Let's not get reminded of Anderson excuse stories 9a. There's a generation who fortunately know less about them than a C90 cassette.
