| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "Whiting can probably do a job at hooker with Sharp going to fullback, Briscoe to wing and Manu to centre.
Briscoe at hooker is interesting, he could certainly exploit the gaps with his scoots if we get quick play the ball, cant imagine his distribution will be up to much though.
I suppose Turner is an option too.'"
A 6ft 4 inch hooker  |

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "I dont think you can afford to carry players just incase of an injury though. If Agar doesnt think Washy is upto it then its a risk we will have to take. Highlights even more our need for a half back/ hooker though.'"
Whilst the bench has become a means of changing the game and keeping players fresh, its main role should always be to cover injuries/knocks to players IMO. |

Needs must though. He is more suited to hooker than alot of the others, at least he has some sort of passing game. In fact now I think about it if Houghton does get injured I would go:
Turner to 9
Whiting to 6
Sharp to 1
Briscoe to 2
Manu to 3
A hell of alot of upheaval for one player though. Similarly if Long were to pick up a bang:
Turner to 7
Whiting to 6
Sharp to 1
Briscoe to 2
Manu to 3

Alternatively Washy could be on the bench.

Which is why we are in need of a player who can play both hooker and half back on the bench.

Washy should be on the bench imo, but if he's not then what I have suggested is probably the best option.
Anyway, at the risk of tempting fate, when does Houghton ever get hurt? He's nails. |

I would go -
1 - Whiting
2 - Sharp
3 - Turner
4 - Yeaman
5 - Briscoe
6 - Westerman
7 - Long
8 Dowes
9 - Houghton
10 OMeley
11 Radford
12 Tickle
13 Fitz
14 Luaki
15 Manu
16 Moa
17 Washbrook
Would rather put Westerman in the halfs than really disrupt the back line and have to put Briscoe in centre etc. Think this leaves more people in natural positions and Westerman could do a job at 6. Washy to cover 6 and 9 if needed if things open up.

Whiting
Lyne
Yeaman
Briscoe
Sharp
Turner
Long
O'Meeley
Houghton
Radford
Westerman
Tickle
Fitzgibbon
Moa
Lauaki
Manu
Washy
That would be my side, Houghton can do the odd game for 80 mins but it is not something I would like to see repeated often.

Houghtons distribution isnt the quickest when he comes on for 20min spells never mind doing the full 80. I cant see RA leaving Washbrook out.
Houghtons alot like Roby who cant do the full 80 at hooker which is why they had him and Moore on for all the game or most of it.

IF Agar selects 4 forwards on the bench, its suicide -IMHO
No replacement for either Long or Houghton is a recipe
for disaster.
Washbrook or Williams must be on the bench.

That would be my side too.
I like the selection of Yeaman at right centre, his forte is his defense.
Or,I'd like to see Sharp at FB, Whiting centre,Briscoe wing. |

I reckon he's of the opinion the pitch will be like a swamp by the time we play so will go with the option of 4 big fowards. As you say it's a poor decision if he does as houghton will be badly fatigued at this stage of the season and on a heavy pitch. morgan will target him with his forwards all match |

Washy's a forward. So 4 forwards on the bench is fine by me!
