He will give us a bit of strength up the middle and will be able to do as long as Mika or Paea. We need him to tough it out for us and take the sting out of the big guys. He will tackle til his lungs burst and we will need that if Green makes his timely boost 3 days ahead of medical advice (acording to CS).

might be wrong but hasn't radders actually been training with the team anyway so should be in reasonable shape

Hasn't he been playing a bit of union too ?

I might be wrong but there are few if any people "slating" Radders as far as I can see.

If Martin's out I'd put Horne to centre, Ellis can play stand off and his kicking will help us tire out the bigger rovers forwards
edit: if Yeamo's still not fit that is

yeah he's been playing union as well.

Just heard he'd been training along with the team.

Who's slating him

I just mentioned he should be in pretty good shape

Sorry not aimed at you there was someone else claiming Radders was being "slated".

McKinnon 50/50 yeamo back

If there was a guy ,you would want in the trenches besides you, it would be Radford.

He wont take a backward step, and he will give his all.

We need Ellis to play 6 now, with his kicking game,so we can pin KR in their own 20.

hopefully with blunt rusty nails

Dont forget guys theres adifference between been fit and been match fit. He may struggle big time with the speed if the game but if theres no one coming through then not alot of choice.

The ones coming thru are being used/or are injured that's why he's been called up!!

Whatever team Gentle picks and its best to know what he has to play with a few days before i have faith his game plan will work.
