I worry about the binman had a few knocks to the head and missing a few matches now. I think he's very good and would be in my team every day of the week. But hasn't looked the same player latterly.

Is it worth a try putting griffin on the wing ?

I would - think he would be a better winger than Michaels at the moment, plus another big lad running the ball back out of the back field

I'll like to see Ellis and Watts swapped, see how he'd go has a impact prop

I'd like to see Litten on the bench instead of Washy to replace Houghton a spell during the 80 after not playing for a while plus Washy looked completely knackered last couple of games.

Agree. Metres per carry he's miles ahead of most the backs-prior to leeds game when I saw it. Will be needed those strong out of back field carries
Michaels is way off this year imo. A target almost at the minute

That would leave us with no actual prop on the bench as I class Fash as more of a back rower, plus would still leave us abit short.

Just shows that we are a prop short in the squad and we're lucky that Green is likely back as we would have been worse off.

For me I'd go.

That way I feel we still have some impact off the bench.

HDM reporting that Thompson has missed out even though he's in season best form. His biggest issue is his consistency. If he could improve that, he could be a heck of a player.

But then so would a lot of players.

Yep, I like him.
He's not worth giving up on yet, although some already have.
