Played in the 20s against London, maybe his first game back?

No , I would also.

me three, he's the future, needs to be shown confidence.

I think we'll basically have the same 17, but with Martin replacing Whiting. So it'll be Horne at 6 with Martin on the bench, and as and when required Turner can always move up and play back-row, as was the plan for him this season anyway I reckon.

I thought everyone was saying Manu was definately out

Hardly anyone said that. The thread about him only got 6 replies.

Gentle has revealed he has some injury concerns for the game at the Etihad Stadium, but stopped short of naming which of his players are a concern.

"We have a few concerns over some of the guys that played at London, but at this moment we haven't lost anyone for the game," said Gentle.

"We are monitoring the players and I am hoping they will be ok, but there are a couple of concerns there for us. It's probably no more than a normal week, though, so we'll wait and see on those."


Playing cards close to the chest. Either keeping Manu's injury quiet or it's a double bluff to get Sandydongs hopes up??

We're doomed anyway, Cookey's tipped us to win

Would play Martin instead of Crooks. Whoever said Martin can't defend don't know what they're talking about, I would argue it's the best asset to his game. Crooks has played in the last 3 games, had a good taste of what to expect now. Saturday will be a big pressure game at high intensity, what Martin is used to. I'm all for developing young players, but the team's results must come first.

And Milward. FFS.

I would say the League game against L**ds had more pressure and intensity than any team from shanty town.
