Does anyone know if we picked up any injuries last night?

Bridge took a knock and think Myler was feeling his toe abit other then that I didn't see anything so fingers crossed.

Good to see Richie Mathers involved in the warm up too. I guess that he'll play next week.

Who would you drop? Riley?

Yeah I know its a tough one but yes I think so. F/B is a specialist position for me.

Then gives the problem of Hicks or Riley for a wing spot.

With the comp for places being as it is, anyone making a couple of errors is likely to get dropped if everyone else is fit.
Riley dropped a bomb that led to the their try so if Mathers is fit, I see him playing (even though he is still prone to the odd howler).
Fot me Rileys best position is on the wing, but when you've got Hicks and King it's difficult for him to fit in.
TS has always had faith in the youngsters though.
What a dilemma....

Now don't test me. Not on a Sunday morning when i'm a little 'sensitive'

i got a papercut from my programme but i should be fit for the next game

Had me worried there mate

I wouldn't drop Riley but I would give him a rest.
We need players to be as fresh as they can be for this long season, so I hope TS gives Chris Riley the week off and lets him know that is why he is doing this.

On the subject of injuries Richie had someone step on his foot and he was hobbling about for a while, nothing long lasting I hope.

Tricky one isn't it? It would be very harsh to leave Riley out on friday, however, Mathers is a bit better at FB.

disagree, i think we look much better with riley at 1, mathers has been patchy this year and i feel more secure with riley there fielding kicks, i know he cocked that bomb up last night but i would've half been expecting mathers to do that anyway, you get better value so far from riley's kick returns, he's just giving us a lot more energy on the pitch,

its chris' shirt to lose.

I do agree with that concept to be fair.

But it's debatable as to who's a better all round FB. Mathers' kick returns are superb. No side way running bo11ocks etc. Straight, direct and tough! Both are partial to the odd brain fart in terms of high kicks though.
