Yeaman should move to right centre as it has already been mentioned he dosn't pass anyway, so it makes no difference what side of the pitch he is on. Hall should play left centre as thats where all his tries come from, and Whiting on the right wing with Turner on the left wing. Give Briscoe a bit of time in the U20's

Bristow was picked while out injured ,not with Hall as his from form the year before [don't make things up]

we need Horney for the derby game IMO

If Horne and Calderwood were fit the team picks itself but neither of them could be so the only real decision would then be the wing spot and who goes out to replace Yak. Assuming Horne is fit and Calders isn't;-

Tansey
Turner
Hall
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Dowes
Berrigan
O'Meeley
Tickle
Manu
Fitzgibbon

Moa
Yak
Lauaki
Hougton/Whiting

Worth a shot with Turner on the wing I feel and would drop Radders and keep Moa in.

Still would rather have whiting then hall don't see all the hype bowt hall

If horne is fit Hall has to be in, I woudl drop Lauaki, his errors are too costly at the moment, thought Moa had a decent game so would keep in for, would drop Radford. I would play Fitz at 2nd row and give washbrook a game, give us more attcking options.

Tansey
Hall
Whiting
Yeaman
Brsicoe
Horne
Long
O Meley
Berrigan
Tickle
Fitzgibbon
Washbrook

Moa
Cusack
Houghton
Manu

If Horne isnt fit, same team but with Turner at 6.

1 Tansey
2 Whiting
3 Hall
4 Yeaman
5 T. Briscoe
6 Horne
7 Long

8 Dowes
9 Berrigan
10 O'Meley
11 Tickle
12 Manu
13 Fitzgibbon

14 Houghton
15 Lauaki
16 Radford
17 Moa

Moa has got to keep his place, Horne back in for Turner, had a shocker last night, luckily for Yeaman otherwise he'd of been dropped for Turner in the centres. Berrigan is lucky to keep his place again, last chance then Houghton starts from then on. Hall in at centre. Big improvements needed from Dowes, Radford, O'Meley and Fitzgibbon.

Missed a prop out.

Thanks,

Dowes.

the only thing with having hall on the left is that teams will really target that side as you have long then hall and then briscoe not 1 of them defensivley are good. yeamo has to improve but i do think that for this game deffo he needs to stay on the left. id have whiting and hall on the right with whiting on the wing. people will say that hall is more of an winger then whiting but just thinking about it espcially returning kicks hall is weak no doubt about it and he isnt confident at all and justs gets smashed but noticed when whiting returns the ball hes confident and makes good yards and more times then not he gets to his front and dosent get dominated and gets a quickish play the ball.also then hall can play his best natrual position in centre. i dont think radders was that bad want his best game but made good yards but dint get enough game time. fitzy was really poor yesterday but will be the first name on the team sheet and deserveley so aswell what im saying is that ok we were crap yersterday but making alot of changes isnt the answer. moa should be kept in thought he played well he added that impact when came on and defensivley very good, bit of a shame really becasue he was defending most of time when he was on the pitch so had to do alot of work defensivley. so horne for turner and hall for lynne with whiting on the wing and we should be abit stronger and better

I really hope Horne is fit for Friday, there were a few times last night when someone made a half break and nobody was backing up, I think if Horne had played he'd have been right there on their shoulder.

It doesn't matter what line up we go with, if we show no desire, no commitment and a distinct lack of ability as we have done in our last 3 away games we will get beat.

I'd drop Yeamo for the derby. Was woeful last night. Hall left centre and Turner or Whiting right centre.

Very true. After the Crusaders game I though maybe it'd give us the kick up the backside we needed against the lower sides but after last night I'm not so sure. I am now expecting the usual case of stagefright and lack of enthusiasm we normally get for the derby games.
