Experience means nowt, we lost with Azza and Horne in the halves. Give the young lads a go, cant be any worse than last week

i think,that one of the problems in attack,is that when the try line is within reach,we have tended to get over excited and go into panic mode,because we have not scored,and this is leading to a lack of concentration,resulting in a lost chance.

rlSeems like Shaul may well be at full backrl

Miller and Rankin in the halves ?

yes.

Hope Rankin and Miller are the halves tonight, but if we have another stinker of a game. I hope they are both given time and not ousted after one effort. Give them time to gel. They've played together before in Australia. They need a run of game to show what they can do. They also need the rest of the team performing.

Not particularly confident tonight I think we're too light in the forwards now - one class forward too many missing for me. Hope I'm wrong obviously. If we do get beaten up front it will be pretty obvious and I doubt blame will be attached to the halves whoever plays there. Against Widnes the forwards did ok but the backs stunk in my opinion and that was equally as obvious.

blame should be at any player regardless of there position,if they have a mare,you've just said the backs was bad against widnes..true,& have been called poor all week..now If the forwads don't win the battle upfront it makes hard work for the pivots to create,so then good halfs should be able to organise & drag/kick a team around the park, & get the best out of there team? But are our halfs good enough to do this? Any pair not just miller & Rankin? I'm quite nervous about tonight! :-/

Playing Miller and Rankin in the halves against a pack that are likely to get dominated???

I hope Miller and Rankin play the games of their lives and leave Radford having to stick to his word and not drop them.

I hope its Rankin and Miller too but I'd be suprised if Horne is dropped

We'll either win by about 4 points or we'll get beat by about 18 imo.
Seriously missing Paea and Carvell.

I can't see Horne being moved from 6 either unfortunately.

Horne or Rankin on the bench I reckon.

Shaul
Colbon
Crooks
Yeaman
Talanoa
Horne
Miller
Watts
Houghton
Pitts
Tuson
Whiting
Westerman

Thompson
Heremia
Hadley
Feka

rlHeadline makes it sound a bit like if he doesn't shine tonight he'll be straight back out, but Radford's quoted comments seem more reasonable. Hopefully 'performs to their ability' also means 'as well as circumstances allow' if the pack struggle.rl

Out of the 3 centres, why would Arundel be the one you'd leave out? Would seem highly unfair and the opposite of what we should be doing IMO, on merit I'd say he's currently the least deserving of being dropped.
