Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"It will be the props that will need the most thinking from Wane for sure. There are two certainties in that department IMO and they are Mossop and Flower. After those 2 we'll need to choose another 2 from Taylor, Dudson, Crosby and Lauaki. I seriously don't get Dudson at the minute, he's powderpuff IMO and gives too many penalties away. I'd rule him out and probably plump for Taylor and Crosby.
The other selection issues will be left centre (Thornley for me) and if we should play an extra forward on the bench or a back up hooker/half (I'd throw whoever we play a curve ball and stick Hampshire in).'"
I agree with your post, and there is an old adage that your forwards set the platform for the rest of the team, it’s still true, and for me has been shown to be so in most of the games we have lost this season. We need to have an injury free run for our props for the rest of the season now, and not just for the CCF, and considering the luck, or lack of it we’ve had in that department all season I think we are entitled to one!
