Put him in at 9 and move Aiton to loose forward with Washbrook to the bench.

well this week agar cannot claim they played well, so those on the fringes that are playing well in the 21s will get the right hump if they don't get a chance.

Problem is dont think Ellis is match fit

Doubt we'll see any changes for friday, injuries permitting. Hopefully the guys will be suitably embarrassed by their performance that they'll be chomping at the bit to get back on the field and right the wrongs. They've earned that right with the two performances prior to london but a reaction is needed. I'd use some of the other guys in the squad for the Wigan game.

If were picking on performance then why the hell would you replace washbrook who was one of the only players that showed up against London ? Although saying that i can see were you are coming from i really do like Aiton at loose forward and Ellis does deserve a chance but he will get it. Does anybody know were Washbrook moves to when Wood comes on ? Because half the time he is still on the field when Aitons at loose forward

He moves into the second row I think. Seems Agar likes the square pegs and round holes thing.

Thought so.

What's the point in having Washbrook on the bench and 3 hookers in the team?
You trying to get the England Coaching job?

Heard ellis had a good game against london in 21's and think he scored if he is playing well then why could he just be givien his chance

Ellis and Mariano MUST be back in the team as soon as possible in my opinion:

1. Mathers
2. Fox
3. Kirmond
4. Mellars
5. Cockayne
6. John
7. Smith
8. Wilkes
9. Aiton
10. Amor
11. Lauititi
12. Southern
13. Washbrook

14. Ellis
15. Mariano
16. Jonhson
17. Raleigh

Leaving out Collis (if not fully fit, I wouldnt play him), Sykes and Wood. But I doubt that Agar will do that sadly.

do you think mathers will be fit to face cas, or will they just bandage him up and send him out? cos his head and eye look pretty nasty

Yeah I think he'll be fine. He came back on in London so I'd assume he will play.
