^^^THIS^^^

Unless Radford feels they need a bit of a rest after the run of games from Easter and maybe carrying knocks that now Talanoa, Ellis & Minichello are fit that he can now rest Michaels and Bowden?


I'd go with

Shaul
Talanoa
Fonua
Yeaman
Naughton
Pryce
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Taylor
Mini
Ellis
Manu

Green
Hadley
Pritchard
Washbrook

We have complained at times that we run people to a standstill and fade at the end of the year - Bowden has had a great start, and now Ellis and Mini are back it may lead to a bit more rotation of our pack.

Agree think he's trying to freshen everyone up and some players will have niggles so he's resting them

No excuses for this one. We have a strong squad and a good performance will see us take the 2 points. Anything less than that and we'll lose. This is exactly the type of game against which we can measure improvement in the team performance and attitude.

Michaels I'm not surprised at as radford likes him but bowden is in great form so surely we've not dropped him

.... hard forward battle against Cats next week, Bowden will benefit from a weeks rest.
His stamina wasn't particularly good earlier in his career, and Watts and Taylor can probably play every week at the moment.
Everyone else has already missed a few games.

Well looking at your team sheet, I'd say that Tom Johnstone looks like a White filling in a mouthful of rotten teeth.

That's exactly the attitude that will see us lose tomorrow. For a start; Jowitt, Johnstone, Miller and Finn are all ones to watch, and that's just their 1-7.

wakey are playing really well as a team and only a good performance from us will see us take the points. If we lose they'll only be 2 points below us and we're getting dragged back into the chasing pack. 2 really important games coming up which could define our season

Well, now you've finally found somewhere to shoehorn that expression into, perhaps you can be a bit more objective.

That back line of ours is rapid, our forwards are big (admittedly not as big as the FC pack) Finn is directing them round well and Miller is bang in form at the moment with his running game.

Think you're in for a rude awakening personally, but should be a cracking game.
