Need Riddy to convert try's and hopefully he is fitter than Cas, if not then its a toss up between Reynolds and Hampshire. No Stewart then Hansen to back row and Weston to bench

Not a bad shout that - would stick with Reynolds at 6 TBH, don't think there is as big an issue with his goal kicking as people are making out
Acton off the bench Tickle to start

Pretty much starting to pick itself.Halfback combo carries the question mark? Do you go with Riddys experience and kicking game,or do you go with pace against the only vulnerability Saints have. The latter for me and Hampshire to 6.

Id like to see Hampshire have a go at Stand off if Riddy is not fit!
If any of the forwards I've picked aren't available then I would give Vea a go, against hs old team!

I didn't put Stewart in my team as I thought he's another week off being ready?

In my opinion it's time Naughton should be given one of the wing spots and Friday would be great time to start him. Has a great record against Saints.

Unless he is injured cant see how Higson can be omitted - not done much wrong and does a mountain of work. If a winger is to miss out it would be Dawson for me, but can't see either being dropped TBH

Nobody seems to fancy Curtis Naughton getting a game soon? Presumably, he wasn't sent to us to sit and watch?

We have no wing or FB cover, if Tonga or Crooks are out then brown to centre and naughton in
