Lets bring Kent,Lynee and the kitman in then.....that was a bloody friendly

The point though is that Berro came back immediately because he strengthened the team. Calders is the same situation in our opinion, obviously not in yours.

Simple to me.....teams winning and team is settled......lets go back to the last 2 seasons and chop and change things.

If you want to make it stronger...Calderwood in and Hall to centre then.

He may well strengthen the team but he shouldnt come back as we are winning and playing well......Dont forget,Calderwood has his faults.

The last 2 seasons we've been forced to change things because of injury. This season we have the luxury up to now of having these kind of debates. Horses for courses though for me, heavy ground makes Whiting a better option at centre. Firmer ground and Hally is the best centre we have.



I know Calders has his faults, simple choice for me though is that he is an International winger and brings something extra to that position than Hally does. As ive said though, Calders wont be back so no debate this week. I hope we hammer Celtic and Hally scores 3 so we can have this debate again next week.

Calderwood in for Hall if he's fit. Then Moa in for one of Radford, Cusack or Dowes.

Atm....resigning Moa looks a mistake as our props are playing superbly.

Defensively yes, but, the 3 I mentioned though don't offer enough impact.

Got enough impact elsewhere.

Not last night we didn't, Manu was quiet and Lauaki was targetted in defence. Only O'Meley who made a lot of yards and pushed them back last night. No other impact really.

And Moa would have been targetted in defence..Moa is developing nicely however he is not as good as either Manu or Lauakai imo

Like mentioned in another thread, Hudds have the best defence in the league and our guys did very very well...

Crabtree actually owned Hame (who bounced of him)..Moa would have done no better.

One player I would be tempted to rotate would be Fitzgibbon. I know he has been superb in the past two games so stay with me here.
He gets through a phenomenal amount of work in both attack and defence but I wonder if he can keep that up for an entire season. We have a good LF in Washbrook sat in the stands and I'd think about rotating Fitz with Washy for the Crusaders game.
Obviously Fitz and Agar know best whether the excellent workrate can be sustained every week. If so then fantastic but it's just a thought.
