if the teams something along those lines the 'injuries' excuse can't be even mentioned, apart from Broughton everyone has experience in that lineup, and its only Cusack, Calderwood and possibly Washbrook short of full strength.

if we can't do it now when the pressures on they are never going to do it

1 Tony
2 Raynor
3 Whiting
4 Yeaman
5 Broughton
6 R Horne
7 Thorman
8 Dowes
9 Berrigan
10 Thackray
11 Burnett
12 Tickle
13 Radford

14 Houghton
15 G Horne / Lee
16 Manu
17 King

Thats what I reckon it will be.

Would rather see Airlie Bird at 13 than Radford!

Whiting not in the first 13

Radford is closer to a prop than a second rower now. Never been a loose forward since he has been back at FC.

If Whiting is dropped altogether for G.Horne it's a shocking decision however if he's moved onto the bench and Radford goes to prop, Manu/Burnett second row and Tickle lock it would be a good move as Whiting will be brought on at 13 although it'd be better to start him there and then have Manu coming on.

I think he needs to grow a pair and, instead of spouting off in the media, actually drop the players who need dropping instead of messing about with the "easy targets" in his eyes.

Why not start with Whiting at 13, leaving manu to come off the bench

Are you having a giraffe? Tickle, Manu and Burnett will do the vast majority of 80 minutes each.
