Ha ha we are a joke. There would have been no chance of Long playing last week and the club will have known this all along, so why all the spin all week from Long and Agar?

Desparate times and all!

What you think or what you want?

Fitz is NOT going to play at prop, he's already said that in the mail. He'll go loose man, with Westy in the back row, Radders at prop and Manu on the bench.

Washy on the bench with the mafia looks solid to me.

The Mafia.

The 10 minute Mafia you mean. No wonder Moa want out!

Want I'd pick,

I'd go with:

1.Whiting
2.Sharp
3.Turner
4.Yeaman
5.Briscoe

6.Horne
7.Obst

8.O'Meley
9.Houghton

11.Fitzgibbon
12.Tickle
13.Westerman

14.Washbrook
15.Lauaki
16.Manu
17.Moa

My only problem there would be having Moa and Lauaki on at prop at the same time, as soon as a side saw that they'd hammer us around the ruck.

And if we played expansive rugby, I know we don't, fitz would be to slow for second row.

See what you're saying about Moa and Hame, but I think they're both playing relativley well this season and work well at the same time. Hope Lauaki carries on to progress his good form, doing well this season.

In which case it would be nice if they could both play a bit more than they have so far.

Aye, would be nice!
