Don't expect Radford to name that team though, not a chance in hell he'll leave Yeaman and Horne out.

I'd go with that except Horne on the wing. Seeing colbon play is just plain depressing. London wouldn't give him a contract when they couldn't even scrape 13 players together

He's ok Colbon, very solid.

Doesn't let you down

Why the big downer on Colbon? Did alright against Rovers, ran the ball back strongly I thought.
Not the answer long term, but better than Horne would be.

Reckon Miller may miss out , think Radford will take easy option and put Horne back in . Also harsh on bowden I feel

No Cunno no London. Anybody heard from previous games if he's picked up a knock? Or if we're not letting him play against us.

Not allowed to play.

Problem with Colbon is that he awful under the high ball, can't defend and is slower than most of our forwards, apart from that he is fine.

I agree, he isn't doing anything world class but not letting us down either. They is far worse we should be looking at.

Why would he leaves either out? Yeaman been solid if unspectacular and Horne set up 2 tries in a small amount of game time. You call radFord for that Yet you would persist with whiting in the centre when he's clearly a back row only player these days!

Solid is not enough for a starting centre. Your centres should be a potent attacking threat, able to make breaks, score tries from distance, put their winger away etc. Yeaman offers nothing nowadays except tackling ability.

So nobody else noticed the ease with which Whiting and Colbon get run around in defence then? Nor the complete lack of threat in attack?

We pretty much have to play Colbon but our best choices at centre are Yeaman and Crooks. Whiting should never play there again, and Horne only in extremis.

That's not the easy option - its the correct option. Horne is a better player in every area than Miller

I agree completely, but sadly he's still one of our two best choices in that position. We really do need Sa as soon as we can get him.
