Very important game this one IMO - 2 wins from the first 5 and although all the losses have been narrow ones with positives to take we need to start getting points on the board.

Some selection headaches for Radford if we get players back following the younger players outplaying the senior ones for the most part at Headingley. I reckon Kelly will be back but Sika didn't come back on so with Watts, Bowden, Paea and Houghton also all out that would be 5 of our 1st choice pack missing. I'd start with Taylor and Green at prop and Mini, Hadley, Abdull in the back row. Hopefully Bowden back but I don't feel we've seen the best of him yet this year - he was in outstanding form at the end of the last season. No idea what he'll do in the backs but if Kelly's back he'll probably want Connor at centre with Carlos - maybe Talanoa and Griffin on the wings. Harsh on Logan but Griffin was also very good against Leeds.

Nope, Connor flapping at players isn't acceptable and nor is JS's downward form either but Connor brings a ton more in attack than Griffin could even dream of.
Considering he was the big name signing for 2017 (before we/the club knew about Kelly) he's being massively disappointing, Connor hasn't, he's exceeded expectations.

Yes the Shaul effort on their halfback was feeble.he didnt have to tackle him just push him in touch.
T o be fair though he shouldnt have had to even deal with that because the Connor/Griffin effort was was even worse.
Its not the first time though we have seen Griffin switch off.Websters try for Cas was another that highlighted how poor he is in defence.
Hopefully we can get Connor back to centre but that will depend on whether Shaul is fit or not.
If Connor has to go to full back then like Knocker i would rather see Jack Logan at right centre.
I have a feeling anyway that Logan will play on Friday even if Shaul is fit.

well we agree to disagree on griffin, As for logan be nice for the kid to get a run as he will bring some much needed zip to our backline,

If any of our 3/4's needs dropping it's the bin man. Other than the hudds game he's been way off. As for griffin, he looked a lot better in his preferred left centre position

At least he only got a brace last night.
He scored a hat-trick the game after Bumpy got stuck into him.
