Fairly sure that Gentle won't consider the loss of our leading try scorer as any kind of 'opportunity'. Neither would having to justify his decisions to folk like you figure in his considerations.

miller needs time, pre-season will give him that, before he arrived, horne and holdsworth were in the halves and we were playing better rugby

if not whiting in centre, who else?

as for gentles' pride, that was sarcasm as I said previously he would always choose dj and miller over horne

If Horne and Holdsworth are fit,Miller shouldn't be anywhere near the team.

It's been that long since we've had a decent 7, it's obvious by the rhetoric towards Miller that most fans have forgotten what they do.

That squad is good enough to beat Catalan at home without risking Crooks or Lynch. Next week away from home however is a different story. The extra week will do them good...........

Erm, put the ball in the scrum?

We are not in the 80s any more. There is no discernable difference between a 6 and a 7, the two are interchangeable. Miller is a lovely crisp passer of the ball, has a step, is quick and is willing to take the line on. He's not ready yet, but those things make me confident he will be a good player in the future.

There's plenty of difference when the positions are played correctly.

On current form Miller should be in the team ahead of Holdsworth.

Exactly. We have only got one SH, the decision is between Horne & Holdsworth and we need DJ's kicking game, which is why I'd put Horne to FB.

Completely agree, but Holdsworth's kicking game is too important.

Hornes kicking game was as good as it,s ever been prior to his injury & he does take the line on unlike Holdsworth.

That would be my team, only change Johnson for Kent. Picking a team to win the game then Horne starts for me and I wouldn't drop the two halves so Shaul would miss out.
