Dont worry Nathan we are full behind your team selections. have faith in your decision making. You do not need 50 armchair coaches telling you what to do.

well sais durham giant. what browny picks i am happy with he knows what he is doing

Lawrence should be in the starting lineup whether it's in the centres or on the wing.

on recent form lawrence needed dropping imo, nb was spot on again with selection as the result bears witness to, glad to see him pick molloy though and thought he did well.

I agree totally with what Brown does. We need to see the young players playing, Molloy played well, Wood played well, Keale played well.

i think its good to give the fringe players a run - it makes all the squad realise that their places in the team aren't guaranteed and gives us competition for places - look at the talent we had that wasn't even in the team last night and it shows how strong we are.

molloy has been impressing when hes played and deserved his place last night

raleigh is down the pecking order and so is kirmond...would love to see kirmond come back to form, somehow i think letting him go on loan to wakey last season has affected him.

our centre/wing combos need work at the moment, missing whatuira. cudjoe/mcgillvary is working better than the other side.

lawrence hasnt been playing well, if one of the back was going to be dropped i thought it would be him.

simpson will be playing soon i think, played in the reserves last week and looked sharp.

nathan brown knows what hes doing

Fully agree with the above, I predicted Lawrence would be dropped and Gilly moved into the centres, Bruno needs a jolt cos he needs to start hitting the line, breaking tackles and putting some decent balls out to his winger IMO, saying his defence is good won't wash for a top SL club, if we want defensive centres may as well give up the ghost now!!

We have been poor attacking wise but are grinding out results (Cas aside), when we click heaven help someone!!!!

Durham Giant,not critising NB ,the beauty of our great game is everyone is entitled to there opinion,if you read all the threads you will realise not everyone agrees with NB that does not make us armchair coaches,just lovers of our great game and club. with 35 years playing .
coaching and supporting at a very decent level i am certainley not an armchair coach !!!!
and just wondered what others thoughts were and appreciate they are fully entitled to them
and love reading them

I did not think you were criticising. I was suggesting you were NB. You need to turn your Irony meter to a higher setting

I wasnt criticising,i have been found out and was looking for help and assurance on my team selection.will have a re-think for Bulls game . any suggentions Giants fans

dont think it should be publicly aired fella !

a few of is can pop down wednesday if yer want !

If this is now the official advice to Nathan Brown thread my advice would be to

Give all the forwards the week off. Anyone who plays wing , centre or full back should spend all week passing, catching, support play, how to stretch an arm holding a ball an extra two inches and writing an apology to the forwards for wasting all their hard work with poor finishing which left the forwards having to work hard all game rather than being able to relax after putting Quins to the sword.

i dont care which 17 we put out because whoever plays plays on merit and thats the way it should be! if someone isn't performing then they should rightly have to give way and fight for their place back.
i do think people are been a bit harsh on bruno as i dont think he's done too much wrong,but then again hodgson,brough,etc have played well lately so need another scapegoat.

Given the strength of our squad, I think we will be seeing lots of changing 17s this year - more than before -and we should be welcoming that. NB will be motivating players by saying anything less than a great individual performance and your place next week is questionable. He also needs to motivate those not in the 19 and 17 to keep trying, keep pushing and keep believing.

This year NB will have 'nice' selection dilemmas.

I think this will be our success this year, esp 2nd half when injuries and season strain is affecting sides, and our team can be hopefully be fresher and fitter for the forthcoming arm wrestles.
