Worth a punt?

All wrong, Meley will be on the wing surely?

And put Manu at prop Btw has agar signed tansey back as you have named him in your 17

We may aswell play something like that, but we looked aolot better with Westerman at 6 and Turner at .

any news on longs injury?, then who knows phelps could be here hopefully and horney could be back

Even if Long and Horne are fit i wouldnt play either of them.

Heard Longs out for 4 weeks but don't know how true that is.

Why?

We looked more of an attacking threat with Obst at 7.

I'd play Horne in the reserves for a few weeks before bringing him back, training and playing are 2 totally different things.

Right, I see what you're getting at. Think it will be Obst and Horney, with Washy on the bench again.

14. Obst (to rotate Houghton at 9)
15. Moa
16. Lauaki (to play prop)
17. Manu (to spell Tickle for 20 mins in 1st half and fitz for 20 mins 2nd half)

Houghton, Tickle and Fitz need to stop being used fr 80 mins each. Fitz and Houghton are clear at the top of the tackles made stat by some distance after only 2 games. Not what we need to burn them out. Fitz started last season the same.

What's Turner done wrong at 6? One of our main positives imo for the 2 games played.
