I would rest Radford or Dowes tonight. Cusack and Moa are quicker at ptb which is crucial against Quins.

Hey I know its not all about breaking the line or scoring tries. I appreciate there are the hard yards to make as well but unless someone can be bothered to go on that player vs player thing on the SL website and prove me wrong, to me he just seems to be the least effective out of what we have !

id tell her to alter her style if she gets on her knees that quick !!

Oh she's a reet un my gran, or was, she's been dead 15 years !!

Here's my team:

1. Whiting
2. Calderwood
3. Hall
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Turner
7. Horne
8. O'Meley
9. Berrigan
10. Radford
11. Tickle
12. Manu
13. Fitzgibbon

14. Houghton
15. Dowes
16. Cussack
17. Washbrook

Obviously Long, Tansey and Burnett are unavailable.
I'd leave out Lauaki, give him something to think about and show that his on-field antics are not acceptable.
I'd put Washbrook in his place to spell Fitz at Looseman, enableing Fitz or Radford to cover 2nd Row when Manu/Tickle need a breather.

Dr dependable Richard Whiting at fullback - never lets us down.

No room for Moa as of yet, I don;t think the four props we've used deserve dropping, and they shouldn't need a week off after just three games.

Horne has performed consistently well since 2006 (I know he was out for the whole of 200icon_cool.gif. As for Berrigan at 7, he can do more with the ball than Horne but he and Washbrook both need to sort themselves out after last weeks performances.

In 2007 and 2009 he had to operate largely as SH. We know he can't do that. What's yet to be determined is if he can still operate as a 6 alongside a creative 7. I've said elsewhere that I have my doubts that he'll ever get back to top form, but 3 games is probably a little too soon to say that he doesn't even deserve to be in the squad.

Would be good to see Moa given a go tonight. Turner may impress but i think we might need to rely on breaks made with good backing up to score tries tonight.

We have called for players to be left out after less matches......Horne does not warrant a place in the squad...simplez.

I haven't, unless it's been for tactical/discipline reasons. Particularly if they'd not been playing badly for the two previous games.


If Tansey had been available I'd not have argued with Horne being left out, as I've said on other threads. With Tansey out it becomes a lot less clear cut IMO.

Tansey out does make the case for dropping Horne a lot harder to push. Anyway time to set off shortly hope you enjoy the Coverage Kosh pi$$er when you cant get to the games though. (Not a dig btw)

Hate listening to the radio TBH but can't help myself. Sky games are better but still no substitute for being there - even for games like last week.

Not really looking forward to tonight.

Last weekend was the first time in ages I've listened to a game and it was awful, you have absolutely no clue what is going on.

Why are Quins playing in the Old Bronco's colours?.

Because sky, pink & chocolate is sooooooooo yooonion
