Manu and Cusack back - no Lauaki, Horne or Berro

Squad v Saints:
Briscoe, Burnett, Cusack, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Hall, Houghton, Long, Manu, McShane, Moa, O’Meley, Radford, Tansey, Tickle, Turner, Washbrook, Whiting, Yeaman

Must've extended McShane's loan period

Tansey
Briscoe
Yeaman
Turner
Whiting
Washbrook
Long
Radford
Houghton
O'Meeley
Manu
Tickle
Fitzgibbon

Moa
Dowes
Burnett
McShane

Yak and Hall to miss out.

Bit disappointing there's no Hame

Tansey

Whiting
Turner
Yeamo
Briscoe

Washy
Long

Dowes
Houghton
O'Meley

Hall and Burnett to miss out.

Radford
Tickle
Fitzy

Manu
Cusack
Moa
McShane

though mcshane had gone bk to leeds or as jimmy been talking adam pearson

I'd go for:

Tansey, Whiting, Turner, Yeaman, Briscoe, Washbrook, Long, Dowes, Houghton, O'Meley, Radford, Tickle, Fitzgibbon.
Subs: Manu, Cusack, Moa, McShane.

I'd be very suprised if Yak didn't play, I think he'll value his big game experience and size over Burnett who'll be dropped in the second row for Radford.

That sounds about right to me ,unless bring in yak for Radders give him a longer rest everyone else we need on the park ,Mcshane had a great game against cas so got to be on bench ,no point in putting Hall on the bench to play 10 mins at the end

Saints Squad

Wellens, Gidley, Meli, Pryce, Fozzard, Cunningham, Graham, Puletua, Flannery, Roby, Hargreaves, Moore, Clough, Ashurst, Wheeler, Dixon, Lomax, Emmitt, Magennis.

I think Agar might try to bring in Yak too but probably won't dare to drop Moa as he has in the past. That would mean Burnett missing out and Radford to play in the back row. However would he start there and Manu off the bench or would he be on the bench to cover Manu, depends on how fit Manu is I guess.

Saints will be something like this:-

Wellens
Meli
Lomax
Gidley
Dixon
Pryce
Wheeler
Graham
Cunningham
Hargreaves
Flannery
Clough
Roby

Puletua
Fozzard
Moore
Ashurst

Still a very good side more than capable of demolishing us. Pryce, Gidley, Graham, Cunningham and Roby are the main threats.

I would agree with that. Wouldn't do it myself though. Burnett had a very good game against Cas last time out.

Nothing to worry about then

Moa and McShane have to play.

Think Burnett will miss out and Hall.

Radford to start 2nd row with Manu off bench for impact?
