Thing is, if they are cute and get a few tries from kicks and use our lack of agility and sooed, we are instantly in trouble as our eggs are in one basket.

But the idea is they wont get near our line to score because we will keep them pinned in their own half. I dont think we can afford to go for the usual line up in these conditions. Speed and agility will not be any advantage but size and power will.

I know mate, but ideas and plans don't always pan out, that's why threw an "if" in there. Not that it matters what we think on here



Any more news on Dom being injured or not?

Manfredi out or just rumours?

If Manfredi is out i would be tempted to put Greenwood on the wing. Lineham is tall and they will kick to his side and we need somebody with the height to get above him to defuse the bomb or at least knock it out of play. We have good cover for second row with Farrell and Tautai

I take it you are trolling???? Why not play Tautai at 7?

Lol he is 100% a troll, either from Latics, Saints or Wire.

Well dont blame me when they kick to Lineham and Escare is faced with trying to catch the ball.

I would be happy to do that for the first 20 minutes. I want the biggest team possible for the opening exchanges in this weather. The team that tries to play expansive rugby will lose because of errors. This is going to be won or lost down the middle with high bombs on the last tackle

Team is the same as last week.

Well the right choice was made and history was made too

I won’t blame you ....

excellent post
