| Odonnel back!! grixy to play at 7, mcnally fullback, robbo back to 9, with wood to replace on bench at hooker. Bruno playing second row and nathan looking for that to be a permanent move. Wow- will anybody know where they are going to be in the defensive line?

ive noticed lawrence when he was playing v wakefield he was playing more like a second rower further in the field... wardle looks like he will keep his place then in the centre.
grix & brown combo
mcnally to finally get his chance at full back sunday then

| Bruno's been defending further in field for stints since the end of last season, so no great shock if he moves up to 2nd row. However, I'd sooner see him in at centre. As much as I think JW will be a top player, he looked very exposed on Saturday.

| Or the coach doesn't think the seond rower sat in the stand has done enough to warrant a place in the side.

| but a centre dropped last week has?? It's a kick in the jedwoods for a couple of players and can't be good for team spirit if established 2nd rowers are given no reason why they are dropped and then replaced with a centre who has 1 week training in the position. Absolute joke. I think he's starting to lose the plot, just play people in their propper positions!!

| Yeah, he's losing the plot for sure.
3rd in the league, best side we've had in generations. The best RL I've ever seen by players in our shirts and some of the best RL full stop at times. Definitely losing the plot. Brown out. Brown out. Hiss, boo, waaah!
As Charlie Brown would say; good grief. I think we need to give the guy the benefit. He's the coach and knows more about the squad than any of us, no matter how well informed some may be or claim to be.

| not saying he's a bad coach, that would be silly, but he's not infallable and definately has been known to make some odd team selections. Good coach, not a great man manager and rarely holds his hands up to admit his mistakes, in fact the only time i remember him doing so is after last weeks hammering.

| Well we'll have to see how it goes. No one is infallible ATEOTD but fingers crossed when it really matters we'll put in the performances we need to put in with the right players.

| Nathan has been getting Bruno ready for second row for some time it's not just something he's thought of this week- personally I think he'll thrive in that position. And tbf has been playing in that position defensively for some time. How often have we seen him switch inside when we are defending. With a new centre and winger lined up for next year and talk of current second rowers moving up front Nathan is thinking ahead I feel.

| im sure he is, but why give people 3 year deals and not play them when the need arises. does not make sense. its the 1st week bruno has has a run through as 2nd row, im led to believe. not a word said to more senior players to explain his reasoning, unless they ask for one. poor man management. And not for the 1st time.

| Not sure who you are referring to mable so cannot comment re individuals but as for deals tbh I think some of the youngsters are given deals because they have to fulfill the requirements re club trained, academy players etc. Nathan does not have to explain or justify his ideas to the team. It's the first time Bruno has gone on the field as a second row but Nathan has been working with him on that position for a while so it's not one week training he isn't just getting thrown in there.

| Whilst everyone is discussing Bruno we shoukld be talking about McNally. Has played really well for Ireland at full back and linked in well with Grix who played SO.
I really hope he takes his chance and that the fans get behind him. I think he could be a good full back.
Come on Macca

| Unless he's injured, I'd play Gilly. Phenomenal work rate every match.

Personally i would say he is a top man manager, and very honest. When you look how much each individual player has progressed since the time NB has been here i think we can all see how much impact he has had.

| It will be interesting to see the side. Maybe Faalogo to prop instead of Patrick leaving Gilmour in the second row. Also maybe go with four forwards on the bench so Ferguson or Horne instead of Kyle Wood.
