Hall left centre with Fitzgibbon as his second rower and Briscoe as his winger. Yeaman on the right with Tickle and Calderwood. Washbrook loose man. As someone as already said, play to your own strengths, score more than your opponents philosophy.

Were are you playing Manu?

horney isnt injured as isnt berro

Long will be defending against Soliola not Hall

horne, berro and yeaman all out on Saturday. Turner is playing stand off with Hall and Whiting in the centres, balsa and briscoe on the wings. Houghton starting with washy spelling him off the bench

yeamo,Horne, both fit and available if selected,cant see berro starting game tbh,but reckon he will play some part.

If Berro isnt 100% i wouldnt risk him. We can use Washy to start and Houghton off the bench.

Agreed.

Horne hasnt been upto the standard expected for the last 12 months or so but i fully expect him to come back to his best this season and surprise a few people.

playing beside a quality half back like long,will bring out the best in him.dont forget -

1)2008 season-injured for most of it and so was dykes!
2)2009 season-having to adapt to his health issues,recovering from a serious injury,and having thorman next to him!!!

longy will hopefully take some of the pressure off him,as last year,fans were looking to horney to create everthing,cos of thormans inability.

Let the Rugby do the talking for the first few games and lets go from there....

Was worth noting that Horne got early ball a couple of times v Rovers in the first half of the friendly from Long and created 2 tries.
