We might be EVEN better with Briers playing....

We will be, without doubt.

Back to Myler & Briers, maybe start Grix at 13.

Harrison on the bench. Harrison, Higham, Solomona, Wood.

Sorry Vinnie, hard lines. Harrison played within himself for me last night, I've no problem with that like, he had cycling shorts on too, maybe he had a slight strain or likes to feel 'compact'.

Been a long time coming hasn't it.

I did think about resting Harrison...

Or maybe with consideration of certain hairstyles within the squad this season, Ben feels he needs to take it to a new level with his bush? It could be a competition or something. I still think Vinnie's hair is awesome. He's got a total baby face to go with his fro.

His workrate is phenomenal. How he's still standing come the 80th minute I'll never know.

Remember we've got the Easter double header coming up soon too, when there will need to be a little squad rotation. At least we have Fev the week after that.

possibly cos he sat off for abotu 40 minutes last night

i know what you mean though,


his seek and destroy missions have been reduced greatly since the first couple of games of the season as well.

Great way of putting it.

I think we know enough about TS by now to realise that he will only play Briers if he's fully fit. Next Friday is not a final or even a semi so there'll be no throwing players in come-what-may.

If Lee is fit, though, he does add a whole extra dimension to the team in attack so must play. I agree that the side seems to have finally learned how to win without Lee ( by playing in a different style ) which is vital for success, but our win chances improve nonetheless with Mr Briers at 6.

Hope so

Saints will wheel out 95% of their team, anyone who's a doubt will play. They always do.

All this 'never have a better chance' stuff, well they're right, but not because of injuries or any of that, just simply because we're awesome.

You know what I really want us to do them not just because we aint beat them in years, not just because of the heartache of being done late on time after time, not because its been 16 years since we won at there ground but because it would send out a message to rest of the league that this team means business.

Briers will play because he only just missed last nights game so would expect him to be fit. On players being rested I don't think any of the forwards need resting as in each game apart from last night every forward comes off for a while
