agree with the rest

Mmmm, maybe would go for that, we need to find a way we can play Hall left centre and move yeaman right IMO, but with Briscoe left wing it ain't going to happen.

well for sure i want a big improvement

I think we may have underestimated how much we are missing Richard Horne who before his injury was one of the stand out players and one little "show & go" last night might have made a big difference. 7 clear break he has made this season and we have missed him, please be back.

Problems are clear to see in our 3/4

Tansey - very quiet again.
Lyne - Yes made a an error for there 2nd try but had tracked all the way back to be there, out muscled by Broughton. Will get better.
Whiting - Tried hard going forward but maybe could have helped out with Broughton tries more.
Yeamon - Tries for big hits too many times and gets caught out (missed 14 tackles this year) Just cannot pass and doesnt.
Briscoe - (Confidence loss, Was called up for GB when Hall was his centre, says it all)

Whats missing, simple Hall.

Tansey - Get more involved.
Briscoe - Got called up for GB with Hall as his centre, enough said
Hall - Over to you craig, show them how its done.
Yeamon - Can do his catch and drive to the line from right centre as well, lets face it he never passes anyway.
Whiting. - Never lets you down

Lets get our best 2009 attacking partnership going again, just wish Agar would have the balls to move yeamon but he wont.

Yeaman should move to right centre as it has already been mentioned he dosn't pass anyway, so it makes no difference what side of the pitch he is on. Hall should play left centre as thats where all his tries come from, and Whiting on the right wing with Turner on the left wing. Give Briscoe a bit of time in the U20's

Bristow was picked while out injured ,not with Hall as his from form the year before [don't make things up]

we need Horney for the derby game IMO

If Horne and Calderwood were fit the team picks itself but neither of them could be so the only real decision would then be the wing spot and who goes out to replace Yak. Assuming Horne is fit and Calders isn't;-

Tansey
Turner
Hall
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Dowes
Berrigan
O'Meeley
Tickle
Manu
Fitzgibbon

Moa
Yak
Lauaki
Hougton/Whiting

Worth a shot with Turner on the wing I feel and would drop Radders and keep Moa in.

Still would rather have whiting then hall don't see all the hype bowt hall

If horne is fit Hall has to be in, I woudl drop Lauaki, his errors are too costly at the moment, thought Moa had a decent game so would keep in for, would drop Radford. I would play Fitz at 2nd row and give washbrook a game, give us more attcking options.

Yeaman

If Horne isnt fit, same team but with Turner at 6.

Moa has got to keep his place, Horne back in for Turner, had a shocker last night, luckily for Yeaman otherwise he'd of been dropped for Turner in the centres. Berrigan is lucky to keep his place again, last chance then Houghton starts from then on. Hall in at centre. Big improvements needed from Dowes, Radford, O'Meley and Fitzgibbon.

Missed a prop out.

Thanks,

Dowes.
