PopTart:

We just don't agree on any of your choices for 6. You can't just plonk someone random in there.


It's Jowitt or Pitts for me.

PopTart:

You are having a laugh with Doyle and Smith. Seriously come on.


Roarke back in and Max to 6. 
There is nothing to stop Max hitting the line and passing just like he does at fullback if he wants to.

PopTart with respect do not think playing Pitts at 6 worked last time With Hood as Hooker and no kicking game  ,it as got to be Max at 6 

alegend:



Am I right in thinking when Hood was out injured Doyle and Smith shared the 9 roll against HKR at home think they both went ok 

Butcher:

14 in a row, but that's because they were class and we were terrible. For that period they had Mikes McMeeken and McIlorum, Tom Johnstone, Tom Davies, Sam Tomkins at his wisened peak, James Maloney, and others. We had Tom Lineham. Both totally different teams now, so I'll be taking this one at face value. We're a quality team, strengthened by McMeeken and Uele's return, with the some of the comp's form players in Fa'atili and Jowitt. They have some boppers who are destructive with their tails up, but absolutely no resilience or belief in each other. It's a classic Wakey 2025 match - if we play well we'll win, if we play badly we'll lose. That's what makes us so good to watch at the moment.

Butcher:

Team feels fairly straightforward out of that squad - the only questions really are whether Croft plays 12, 17 or 18th man, and whether Doyle comes straight onto the bench. Just having two props back makes us look far more formidable. I'd go with Rourke, Walmsley, Hall, Pratt, Johnstone, Jowitt, Lino, McMeeken, Hood, Fa'atili, Nikotemo, Griffin, Pitts. Smith, Hamlin-Uele, Vagana, Scott
