Tough choices this season but i dont think Cusack has done enough to figure (although he could come in to replace Moa), Burnett is on the fringe as is Washy. Hard call to leave Hall and Turner out too but ive gone for Whiting for his defensive qualities and the fact that i dont think it will be an open game. Reckon the pitch will be fairly heavy.

Gotta say I'd go with the above as its also my way of thinking. Its tough call between Hall, Turner & Whiting but just feel Whiting is the better option defensively and he looked very hungry for a spot in the friendlies.

I just think Whiting's done the most of those 3 in the friendlies to earn the spot. Selection on that basis is what people have been calling for Agar to do.

As much as i rate Whiting..i think picking him or Turner at centre will be a negative approach...we should be going with our strongest and most attacking team and let them loose on Sts...if we turn them over with good rugby..it will make other teams sit up and notice.

I think it is a tough one this, like yourself I rate Whiting and his defence is solid and Saints are an attacking side..However Turner appears to offer more on the offence,I will be happy with either.

Hall for me....better attacking than both of them and his defence has improved beyond doubt.

We finally disagree his defence has improved but not enough for me, thought when he came back last season it was a massive improvement, however I never saw that in the Derby friendly, I thought he dropped of a few tackles.

Turner for me the lad has got pace ..and is quick off the mark .He had a good game against Rovers at centre he look nippy at Sheffield

Horses for courses for me. Hally will come into his own on the firmer ground. Heavy pitches i'd see no benefit in playing people like Hall in comparison to Whiting.
