Quote the artist="the artist"yeah agree thats what he looks like going for - might not hurt as an experiment though in case injuries strike. will be interesting to see whether he plays radders at prop again. interestingly even thou lauaki was mooted for prop, agar seems to want him in the back row. manu looks a certain starter here in superleague games. would think the side that started the derby wont be too far off what starts at saints.'"
I disagree. I think the pack may look completely different. Agar said in the paper that he started certain players because he knew what they could do off the bench so wanted to see what they could do from the start.
Can't see Lauaki starting. Tickle will be on from the start. Manu has always been used as an impact as well, but it looks like we're going for them 3 so will probably start.
Dowes and Radford starting at prop seems a bit light as well. But you get the feeling that Radford will have to feature somewhere. But with Moa and O'Meley on the bench, who do you pick to start from Cusack, Dowes and Radford?
I'd be interested to see who the last bench place would go to out of the likes of Washbrook, Houghton and Whiting (assuming he starts with the same backs).
