Agree with Avogadro, Whiting impressed in the friendlies and was pushing for a place. Now that Calders is out he must get a start. Hall to miss out with Turner partnering Whiting.

Agreed. Would be extremely dissappointed if he did not feature.

However, isn't he too slow to play centre?

Well in that case it Could be Washy or Turner along side Long

R Horne to miss out

So some would have you believe...

keep suessing raymondo

Expecting him to start with a 3rd prop at loose man. Fitz n tickle starting in the 2nd row. With both of them able to kick for goal either can be spelled.

Anybody thought that we could be using Radford in the 2nd row and Lauaki as the other prop? For example :-
Dowes
Berro
O'meley

Radford
Tickle
Fitz

with a bench of :-
Houghton
Lauaki
Manu
Cusack

Horne on the wing, he's a GB international in that position



seriously though didn't g horne score a near length of the field try against them when playing on the wing last season. So pace isn't the be all and end all against saints.

And which wing would you put briscoe on ? if hall was on the wing could he be playing left allowing for him and yeaman to alternate during the game. what an attacking side that would be!

Good opinion

but for i would like 1 of Lauaki and Manu on the field at all times

I'd go with;

Tansey
Turner
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Cusack
Berrigan
Radford
Manu
Tickle
Fitzgibbon

Bench;
Lauaki
O'Meley
Dowes
Washbrook

And burn them out??

i think it's best to leave briscoe on the left so he can work on the combinations with long, manu and yeaman in attack and deffence as hopefully they'll be playing together most of the year. looks a potent left side if it fires!
