Assuming no injuries from last night and with Paea back and possibly Carvell & Bowden fit too, who do we move out?
Paea has to come back, complete no brainer, possibly replacing Hadley and pushing Thompson out to 2nd row? Or straight in for Pitts?
Carvell comes in for me if 100% fit! Maybe not Bowden though, which is probably a bit harsh!

Shaul
Colbon
Crooks
Yeaman
Talanoa
Horne
Miller
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Thompson
Tuson
Westerman

Heremaia
Carvell/Bowden/Pitts (dependant on fitness)
Feka
Whiting

Not sure who misses out the week after when Ellis comes back! Probably Whiting.

I know we did quite well against them yesterday but I think we still need to be fielding a full team of 17

You missed Talanoa out on the wing there

Great to have such a conundrum and harsh on whoever gets left out in the pack. Paea a must return for me as he's been great so far and deserves to be recalled straight away. I think that Pitts will make way if Carvell or Bowden prove their fitness. Both played well prior to injury so I think Watts may also have to watch his back. Not that he's done anything wrong. As I say, harsh on anyone that misses out.

Not sure about the week after either. Can't quite believe that Whiting could be a contender for missing out but it will be him, Thompson or maybe even Tuson that misses out for me. Again, harsh.

I'd drop pitts and hadley and bring back paea and whichever of carvell or bowden is the fittest. bowden was excellent before his injury and probably deserves his place more than carvell TBH plus he can play more minutes

A lot will depend on what Mr Noble does to counteract our game plan we used to good effect yesterday.

Their game plan will probably depend on whether Rangi Chase decides to turn up. So glad we didn't sign him as he's so inconsistent. Either bang average or outstanding. Nothing in-between.

Just got to look at Chase's old team and their performances this year and his new team!

Pick our strongest 17 available.

Whiting for paea is the only change I make. Thompson in back row. Give Bowden and carvell another week. Hadley does not deserve to be dropped.

Paea and Carvell in for Pitts and Hadley.

Any changes subject to disciplinary charges, of course.

Can't see Miller getting away with attacking Morley with his head to be fair. Looking at 3games minimum I'd guess!!

As above.

Harsh but if Paea and Carvell have to come in for Pitts and Hadley.

Although Whiting place could be under threat, seems to me that Radford doesn't rate him, nearly every game he has been massively under used. Although Better Tuson still needs to improve and Pitts and Hadley could pressure those two.

Looking forward to seeing Thompson out wide were I think he will cause even more problems.

Wish we had a young winger and seen nothing in Colborns performances to say he is nothing but average.

I liked the look of Stark in the friendlies, but he's only 18, on the small side, too early for him this year. Anyone seen him in the 19s?
