| I'd be tempted to keep the same 1/6/7/9 as the Wire game. Put Houghton at 13 and see how we go.
Real issue is 1-5. I'd like to keep Okunbor in the back row, if injuries permit, and give him a last shot but he needs a big game.

| If Carlos isn’t fit next week then some serious questions need to be asked about him going forward. He’s played 40 minutes since the end of September last season, it’s just not good enough for a high earner, especially for a squad which is already massively under cap.

| Bibby definitely short and possibly long term.
Not sure we need a winger as much, but wouldn't mind Senior long term to replace Mcintosh

Not sure what we can do about it, unless we can go back in time and not offer him a 4 year deal

I’d be looking to move him on and get the quota/cap space to use. But I know that’s an absolute pipe dream.

A last shot? He's played 3 n half games.

I just don't see it with him. I was expecting more from him as an aussie import but he's been poor for me.
He might get through a big number of tackles, but he doesn't dominate anyone or make an impact with the ball. He just seems really passive when he's on the pitch.
If he doesn't make an impact against London I'd stick him on the bench. I get he's in a new comp and a new position. I don't want to bash him too much, but with the state our SR is in, we need more from him.

Completely agree, not writing him off just yet. But he isn’t what we needed, he’s basically a project. We needed an established out and out second row, the rumours of Alick and Blore and then ending up with Okunbur was poor recruitment.

| Okunbor is like a poorer version of Griffin, a back that tried to make the transition to the second row, but hasn't yet succeeded like Griffin has. We needed a line breaking second row, we've got enough tacklers already in Fash, Lane, Cator etc

We need outside backs more desperately than props

Im not writing him off just yet, we knew when we signed him that he was a faster style of 2nd row. Pitches so far have been slow and heavy. But you do expect quota players to hit the ground running and be better than local options.

| Surely the French prop has to get a run out at some point or what was the point signing him? Even if he isnt fully ready surely instruction can be given to play a very basic catch and drive the ball up off the bench role.
