What side do you think will be picked in the derby and what is going to win us the game?

We certainly need to find some inspiration as 1 point from 4 is not the kind of form we need going in to the next 3 tough games.

a big thing for me is to start Deacs and have him and Finch playing the 80 at HB. vital for consistency there

Give Tuson and McIlorum a rest, both having a dip in form. Amos was solid today and deserves another shot IMO.

It's going to see Sam in for Amos, Carmont in for Goulding and Coley in for Tuson.

There's no way Madge will go away from the team that he's pretty much selected every week. Particularly when it's a biggie against Saints.

I just hope we play for the full eighty and show a little more adventure and inventiveness with the ball.

Is Coley fit for Friday?

i think that tuson is the most under rated player in our team... he makes no mistakes and runs hard and makes his tackles... why does no 1 notice... it should be the same team as last week... with no changes

He made at least 2 mistakes in dangerous positions today.

Wouldn't of thought so. Another week away.

Errors is his worst part of his game in my opinion, he probably doesnt make as many as I think he does but the ones he does are vital and it costs us. I was really impressed with him last year as were the coaching staff handing him a 2 year deal, but this year he has been way off form IMO. I cant understand how he got the start today over Farrell.

Tommy to start at scrum half. (Deacon and Finch are too similar). We need Micey Mac to start to do some damage defensively. One of our tries today came on the back of a superb tackle from him direct from a kick off

Hopefully Coley will be back, as we need four props.

Id certainly think about playing Amos at 1 next week if it meant Sam being fully fit and playing at 6 alongside Deacs at 7.

Agreed. Some of the stuff in the last 20 minutes against HKR was very easy on the eye.

My main concern for Friday is 4 props though, Saints' pack is very, very good.
