At the moment I would rather see Tommy at 9 and Sam Tomkins in the team. We look a much better outfit when we set up this way.

Tommy will take on the line, Smith won't.
Sam will, still not sure about him doing 80 mins as good as he is!

So would you drop Riddell or Smith?

I think I'd drop Riddell, I just don't see what he adds to the team! Is he a leader or does he just set the team into a rhythm?

Smith however can create tries, and moves people around the field.

That would give us:

6. Smith
7. Sam
9. Mcilorum (to help us get ontop forwards wise early on, let him rattle some bones)
14. Tommy (can come on at the end of a half when people are tiring and beat people)

Riddell has to earn his jersey. I would start Mcillorum and bring Tomkins off the bench and put Tommy at 9. Shove Riddell in the reserves for a few weeks and let him work his way into the team.

Smith was improving game by game up until the Saints game but seems to have sloped off the last few weeks.

i too would keep the same team that beat saints and trinity with sam on the bench and macca starting.
great pace, and lots of options.
the only reason i would change this team would be for wet weather games, when we need to change things around cos at the moment we at sheeeeeeeeeitttttttt
