I doubt it to Fred, but Basil's been known to throw in the odd surprise, and blood some youngster in key games especially when you consider, what has he really got to lose?

Adding a back Murphy/Pownall or a.n.other allows him to keep the 'Three Musketeers' in place to try and keep control of the French pack.

Plus isn't Pownall a good replacement kicker? With the ref we've got this could also be key.

replacement kickers? we have two already in Riddy and Ellis so not really a worry on that front

No problems with either of those kicking, other than whilst Nanyn's kicking there's often a team talk or instructions from the side lines and as you'd expect they're both often heavily involved in it, but I do think he'll play his most experienced side available, I was just throwing in other options.

not to mention Duffy & Gov but tbf I always feel confident when big Mick is taking the conversions & his awesome kick offs are great tools to use hopefully we'll see him playing tonight

Anyone really know if Mick is playing or not

we're playing mind games










i hope!!!

me too matey I reckon we'll see Mick on the pitch tonight training but hopefully he feels good & doesn't become the 18th man

Basil might.
