I'll agree to disagree with you - I think it would be more stupid to have Conner or Kelly with Johnstone on the bench but its all about opinions

Just drop Connor or Johnstone, let’s not drop our best player to the bench, madness

At the start of the season I was wanting to see Griffin on the bench too, but he's been our best player, he needs to be on the field as much as possible. If you want him to do a spell in the back row later in the game then that's fine, but it's a waste to have him sat on the bench in his current form.

Short term for Savellio
Unfortunately too injury prone

Question is does Radford have the balls to start Kelly at 6 in front of the sulking sultan.
Answer no
My guess is he will start Connor and have Kelly on the bench
If Radford is not going to play Connor in his best position at centre due to the form of the other players then give him a run at full back or take him out of the team.
Rather have the extra forward on the bench in the winter months

My team prediction would be.


Shaul
Mahe
Carlos
Griff
Swifty
Snake
Sneyd
Tag
Mint
Ligi
Ma'u
Jones
Ellis

Satae
Bowden
Fash
Kelly

I'm usually wrong.

That's the team that beat Leeds, but with Mahe in for Ratu, Swift in for Bureta, Fash in for Savelio, Mint in for Johnstone and Kelly in for Lane.

Apologies to Wiz
Got it right about Mau if he plays

Albo at 13 tomorrow
dont get it if true
Just drop Connor to the bench

I thought Alby would be playing off the bench
I like Johnstone, but think we need another big forward on the bench tomorrow. Doesn’t work with him and Houghton on the pitch at the same time either.

It seems there is only Lee that doesn't agree. Could be a long afternoon.

I'd have thought that if Kelly plays 13, then 4 forwards on the bench is more than likely.

It works for me.
Kelly Connor Sneyd gives us more of an attacking threat.
The pack have struggled last 2 games so any half back would struggle.

Just dont like the idea of Albo getting battered at 13 to give another chance to the Sulking Sultan at 6 which is clearly not working.
Catalan have a big pack and it would have been ideal time to move Ligi into 13 and start Taylor with Bowden in the front row.
Also a good time to give Masi more time on the field off the bench,and getting him to carry more now he has a much stronger pack around him.

kelly at 13 s as ridiculous as houghton at 13. He'll get battered.

It's just a cop out .
