| I don't think I've ever seen Miski score a try that Marshall couldn't have scored, but I can't say the reverse. That said, I agree Marshall hasn't hit the heights of last season.

| It won't happen but if anyone moves to the wing it should be Field for me. French is a better 1 than he is and he's probably a better 6 than he is.
I think we've made a rod for our backs a little after magic by swapping them round again.

Agree with that but Miski is better in terms of coming away from our line. I’d probably go with Marshall ‘if’ we make the change but I don’t think it’s as straightforward as Miski definitely being the guy who should make way. I don’t think we’ll change it anyway tbh.

Fully agree. It was ripped up way too quickly, based on a shocking team performance. Defensively Field struggled but he had next to no protection and if you’re not together as a team then a guy like that becomes a sitting duck. I’d have been happy to switch them back with Isa in the team, helping to protect Field, so his loss is a bit two fold.

| I’d stick with French at 6 personally, think he has the attributes for to play in the halves and if we get good go forward it will open it up for him even more. We seemed to have moved on from Cust so I don’t see a better option imo.

| We have 2 similar home games in the next 2 weeks against good sides but who may have an eye on the cup final.
I’d stick with French at 6. I don’t think it’s been as bad as people are making out IMO.
Give it another 2 weeks and if it still isn’t great consider a change over the cup break.
As for this week Dupree will be in for Isa and Nsemba or Cust for Shorrocks.
I’d probably go Cust as he can cover multiple positions and Junior may only get 10/15 mins.
Miski IMO has been undroppable of late.

| Quote: NickyKiss "The big debate will be to stick with French at 6 or not. I do think it could work but not how French is playing the role. He isn’t taking the ball to the line enough and he is stifling himself by constantly moving the ball on. I’ve been saying that for weeks and it hasn’t really improved.
It’s now or never in terms of making the change. We can’t keep changing such a pivotal position, so we do it now or go with it until the end of the season. I would make the switch but I’m not somebody who says it has to automatically be Miski to make way. I don’t think Marshall has been at his best throughout the year and I’d have it as 50/50 as to who misses out. I’ll sit on the fence and go-
Field
French King Wardle Miski/Marshall
Cust Smith
Ellis O’Neill Dupree
KPP Farrell Smithies
Subs
Hill Mago Byrne Nsemba'"
Put Hampshire in place of Cust.

| I'd stick. He showed decent form and quite a bit of improvement against Wire. The semi final was a one off in poor conditions, a man down and where we defended for much of the 2nd half. I think he just needs time. You don't become a top half back in just a few games. He has the requisite skills if we allow him to settle there with the added bonus of being one of the best defensive halves in the comp.
It's a win/win for me as, if he works out over the rest of this season, it's problem solved for next. If he doesn't we have Keighran coming in or a full off season to bed Field/Hampshire in.
Edit: Btw, there's a good statistical analysis on the other forum regarding French at Wing/Fullback/Stand off that seems to support French at stand off. I won't reprint it here but the conclusion is that French isn't the problem. It's that the pack is misfiring largely due to missing personnel. That's something I wholly agree with. Someone added this statistic which is really telling:
Average points conceded per game with Havard & Ellis in the team - 10.1
Average points conceded when only one of them plays - 21.3
That's staggering even before we factor in the loss of yardage going forward without one or the other and, in particular, Havard.

| Looking forward to watching Dupree, him and KPP provide some athleticism and tackle breaking ability in the pack to go along with the grafters.

Yeah, looking at Duprees stats and the big one that jumps out is the number of tackle busts he has compared to our other props, I think he has around the same of the rest of our props combined.

We will soon knock that out of him

| Not a bad squad out. Big bench hopefully see our forwards do their fair share of carrying us up the middle

Well balanced 17.
Looking forward to it. Hopefully the conditions will help us move the ball around.

| A lot of over playing but been awhile since I’ve seen our forwards make meters. Mago and Dupree making a big difference. Not too late for Mago
