What a difference 10 days makes!

Quote: Wildmoggy "I think it's quite fascinating this thing about our full strength, best team etc?! I don't actually disagree with what you are saying, but, TJ & Senior were first choice, remember him?! K Wood, J Wood, Crowther missing, so 4th choice plays 9 who isn't even a 9?! Arguably both starting props aren't props?! Just says to me we have a more than decent squad, hence the criticism of the coach etc? We have been waiting for a performance like that for quite some time I would say........
Well true if your perfect team is just the first 17. What I suppose I mean is the broader 20+ squad of players all of whom are playing in the positions you might expect.

Yesterday only Brad Walker was really playing in an unaccustomed position, hence we had out a strong side out if not technically our absolute strongest but in truth it's rare that this happens for any team.

I don't think your right about the props, Arona is a prop these days and Tangonoa is fine in either position.

As I say for me only the hooking role was debatable yesterday, everyone else was IMHO fulfilling the roles for which they were hired.

It's only a few players added here and there but it clearly matters.

However, I suppose before we get too excited let's see what our old foes dish up next week, we may well end up back at square one again if we are not carefull.
