What do you all think the team for sheffield should be? in my opinion i dont see the point in Long or Fitzy playing but would like to see Yeamo and Berro (if fit) along with some experimenting in various positons.

1 J Briscoe
2 D Tuffour
3 T Briscoe
4 C Hall
5 R Lynn
6 J Turner
7 J Tansey
8 P Cusack
9 D Houghton
10 M O'Meley
11 R Whiting
12 L Kent
13 D Washbrook

Subs, Burnett, Berro, Yeaman, Dowes, Moa and a couple of part time reserves

he may use most ov those that played today for match fitness

1 J. Briscoe
2 Lyne
3 T. Briscoe
4 Hall
5 Tuffour
6 Turner
7 Tansey

8 Dowes
9 Houghton
10 Radford
11 Kent
12 Burnett
13 Whiting

Another 7 from the reserves.

can see more reserves playing than that

Probably will be but thats what I'd go with.

O'Meley certainly needs more game time to build up his fitness.

think ur right tbh i would play a near full strengh team for at least half the game just think we need a bit more game time to horn our attack ,too many balls went down due to runners not getting there lines right i would work on it this week, then give it a go for 1st half next week ,bring Long off at half time ,we have got to stop worrying about injuries u carnt wrap players up in cotton wool ,we have a genuine chance at saints they will be cold themselfs and upsets tend to happen in the 1st round

Surely with their only being 2 friendlies more first teamers need game time under their belt ??

We have a few forwards to will take a good 3 or 4 games to get into full swing.

agar won't want to risk too much with o'meley.i think he'll now keep him for saints,along with fitz,and longy.1 or 2 will defo get a runout,but it will mainly be the reserves.

That would make sense to me.

I'd take a bigger squad than we had yesterday but still start with a strong 13. Rotate in the 2nd half.

He needs to risk him, no good meeting Saints not matchfit, tbh friendlies are a risk, but sadly an injury can come in the first game, best to have had a hit out and gained some match fitness imo

It would appear that we will be sending a strong sqaud to Sheffield according to reports.

Good, get some match fitness under their belts ready for Saints as they will need it.
