i know this may be a bit early but oh well.

what would everyones 17 be vs kr??

i am going to give it a go;

shaul
talanoa
yeaman
whiting
colbon
rankin
miller
paea
houghton
watts(plays better when starts)
ellis
tuson
westerman

subs;
carvell
feka
bowden
heremaia

this is based on everyone been ok from tonights game,

harsh on hadley and thompson but feel this bench can over power there forwards. bring them two back in for london game.

No way should Thompson be dropped. He's been one of our standout players this season

Same 17 as last night for me if possible.

I'd go with the same 17 as last night if all fit and well. Don't think anyone last night should be dropped from the team as all played well. Shaul was outstanding last night as was most of the team.

What ever the team, there needs to be some goal kicking practice this week. Not a dig at Whiting by any means, but if Crooks was the answer to replacing Tickle that leaves us exposed in tight games.

How come Westerman is not taking goal kicks?

He asked to be removed from kicking duties because he's not very good at it.

Agree with the comments about goal kicking practice. Anyone capable of taking a goal kick should step up and practice so it's not just on Whiting's shoulders. Even Westy. I believe he asked to be stood down after the Catalans game but I think we could really do with him holding his hand up now and saying he'll give it another go.

We may need someone else to hold their hands up anyway in case there's any repercussions to Whiting's sin binning.

Regarding the 17, barring injuries and/or suspensions I'd go with the same 17 as last night for the Rovers game.

Replace Tuson with Thompson.

And Westermen for Whiting (goal kicking)

Same 17 If it aint broke dont fix it

I'd see how sa goes in training maybe straight in and whiting to wing
Horne won't be ready for Thursday. Probably Monday game
Watts and feka would come in for Hadley and Bowden. Harsh on them but think the impact and offload them 2 provide makes us stronger. Thomson to cover 2nd row off bench

Agree with that. It's good to rotate the props, which all the top teams do anyway.

I'm going to agree with you. A tough run of fixtures coming up I think a rest would do Thomo good I wouldn't say dropped but rested. I would keep Hadley in though and also rest Bowden. Both to play Monday.

Only change I think we should consider is Paleaaesina back in for Tuson/Hadley, Thompson to back row. I'd be leaning towards same 17, though.

Will sa even be here?

Horne in and Aaron Heremaia out apparently.

Is Heremaia injured?
