For me it would be Tansey back to Full back , Whiting to the bench in place of Houghton (Whiting gives more options in different positions than Houghton and would like to see Berrigan play 80 mins) and the rest of the team stays as it was last week (if all fit)

Berrigan, T Briscoe, Calderwood, Cusack, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Hall, Horne, Houghton, Lauaki, Manu, O’Meley, Radford, Tansey, Tickle, Turner, Washbrook, Whiting, Yeaman

Hoooo Leeeeeee Poooop

Still no Moa then.

Whiting
Calderwood
Hall
Yeaman
T Briscoe
Turner
Horne
Radford
Berrigan
O’Meley
Tickle
Manu
Fitzgibbon

Cusack
Dowes
Lauaki
Tansey (Tansey should have to earn his place back after a disciplinary issue)

I'd go with that.

I'd swap Tansey and Turner, the rest picks itself.

I'd go with that too, especially the bit about Tansey. Yes he knows he was daft, but he shouldn't just walk back in, particularly as Whiting did a great job in his place.

I agree with you on that.

I agree with you, Tansey is going to get his first choice position back at some point so it might as well be now. Yes, Whitting did a decent job but he does most of the time but he aint going to be the first choice full-back at the club long term, unlike Tansey.

Tansey should come straight back for the simple reason that he's our best FB. Just because he was suspended doesn't change that, however harsh it might be Whiting should be on the bench as he isn't better than what we've got in any of the positions he plays.

1. Tansey
2. Calderwood
3. Hall
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe (maybe drop him and move Hall to wing Whiting to centre)
6. Turner
7. Horne
8. O'Meley
9. Berrigan
10. Radford
11. Manu
12. Tickle
13. Sir Fitzgibbon

14. Dowes
15. Cusack
16. Lauaki
17. Whiting

harsh as it may seem,i can see turner being left out,along with washbrook.i'd prefer to see turner at least on the bench,but somehow i can't see it!!

I'm going to assume all the "dont change a winning team" mob will be online soon to disagree with you.

Personally I think that if you are dropped from the team for disciplinary reasons and your replacement gets MOM you dont deserve to simply walk back into the team. You should earn the right to get your place back as its your own fault you lost it in the first place. If we were struggling for options I could see the arguement for bringing him straight back in but just because he is one of our better players it shouldn't guarantee his place IMO.

well said!!!!totally agree

Is big Sam wasting his time with us ?? He signs a two year deal and takes up our last quota space and it seems that, short of some unforeseen crisis, Agar will just not pick him.

Is there something that we don't know about going on ??

played there in France. Didn't do a lot, but the behind last seasons who would have
