Quote: ColD "Hood in the squad so let's see what happens, good to see Higson
No Weston, shame as he was starting to step up over recent weeks
Have to say the video naming the squad is extremely annoying, bad enough at the best of time but for players to be listed randomly is frustrating at best'"
The video announcement is a complete waste of money and effort. Why can't they just produce a graphic like everyone else.
As good as it is to see Higson, I think I'd rather keep Naughton in. Seems to score tries when he plays.
Assume Weston has picked up a knock? Otherwise the decision to select Green ahead of him is baffling.
I'd go;
Brown
Higson
Crooks
Fleming
Dawson
Hampshire
Drinkwater
Hock
Hood
Burr
Paterson
Vea / Stewart
Hansen
Pelissier
Hopkins
Tickle
Vea / Stewart
That's assuming everyone is fit to play, and Paterson probably wont do full 80, so need a second rower on the bench. If fit, Hood could probably do a stint at 13 with Pelissier at 9. Still like to see another back rower brought in before the 8s, wouldn't be too confident with Vea, Stewart and Tickle in the pack.
