Well we're off the mark now we gotta kick on



What would be everyones team for next week?

1.)Richards
2.)Roberts
3.)Bailey
4.)Carmont
5.)Ainscough
6.)S.Tomkins
7.)Tommy
8.)Fielden
9.)Riddell
10.)O'Carroll
11.)Hansen
12.)Lockers
13.)J.Tomkins

14.)Feka
15.)Hock
16.)Prescott(if fully fit) if not Coley
17.)Smith/Macca

That would be mine.

Macca starting with Piggy on the bench for me otherwise spot on



I don't think any of us are realisticly expecting that side though

I expected Mathers to play last night and Sam not to play, so there is hope

1.)Richards
2.)Roberts
3.)Bailey
4.)Carmont
5.)Ainscough
6.)Smith
7.)Tommy
8.)Fielden
9.)Riddell
10.)O'Carroll
11.)Hansen
12.)Lockers
13.)J.Tomkins

14.)Feka
15.)Hock
16.)Mossop
17.)Sam Tomkins

Thats what i would go with

The next Shaun Edwards only on the bench

As much as I don't rate Coley, I wouldn't drop him after yesterdays performance.

So I'd go with the same 17as yesterday, but have Hock on the bench and Hansen starting.

I would take Prescott over Mossop tbh. However Mossop over Coley, even though i thought Coley did alright last night.

I thought Prescott was not fit or he would have been there

Would bring him on as we did yesterday at about the 30 min mark and let him play the rest of the game after 3 or 4 games to get up to full speed then he would be in the starting 17.

I predicted your reasons was just joking with you

Sorry i blame this bad head from all that London Beer

Played 60 mins for the reserves the other night. Also played against Leigh in pre season.

Let you off then

I know he played at Leigh was there putting updates on here but did not get to the reserves game so did not know he was playing there well if he is fit he should get the chance ahead of Coley

Deffo, its been said already on here that Prescott was really kicking on to being a good first team player before his injury.

Richards, Roberts, Bailey, Carmont, Ainscough, Sam, Tommy, Fielden, Piggy, O'Carroll, Hansen, O'Loughlin, Joel

Hock, Feka, McIlorum, Prescott

But i reckon Noble will go with

Richards, Roberts, Bailey, Carmont, Ainscough, Smith, Tommy, Fielden, Piggy, Coley, Joel, Hock, O'Loughlin

Hansen, Feka, Sam, O'Carroll

I'd go with the same team as yesterday and look to bring Tomkins off the bench again.

Also, after seeing him play in the reserves on Thursday I don't think Prescott is quite upto full fitness despite doing ok.

I would actually start with S Tomkins at 6.

He proved to me yesterday that he is good enough for his age/experience not to be an issue anymore.

He has earned a starting place imo.

1.)Richards
2.)Roberts
3.)Bailey
4.)Carmont
5.)Ainscough
6.)S.Tomkins
7.)Smith
8.)Fielden
9.)TL
10.)Coley
11.)Hock
12.)Lockers
13.)J.Tomkins

14.)Feka
15.)Hansen
16.)Ocarroll
17.)Riddell

I dont see any reason to change the team to be honest - same 17 for me with maybe Hansen coming in to replace Tomkins for the opening exchanges.

Pat Richards
Amos Roberts
Phil Bailey
George Carmont
Sean Ainscough

Sam Tomkins
Thomas Leuluai

Stuart Fielden
Mark Riddell
Eamon O'carroll

Harrison Hansen
Joel Tomkins

Sean O'loughlin

-------------------------------------

Gareth Hock
Feka Paleaasina
Paul Prescott
Michael McIlorum

I'd drop Tim Smith.

Dropping Smith would be an interesting one..

Richards
Roberts
Bailey
Carmont
Ainscough
Edwards (sorry mean Sam)
Smith
Fielden
Tommy
O Carroll
Hansen
Lockers
Tomkins
------------
Feka
Hock
Riddell
Pryce

Sam looked easily good enough to start and play the 80, defense was up to it, looks very good considering he isn't the biggest.
Ainscough needs to be a 1st team starter, his defense wasn't best for the Gafa try but that'll improve, a few of their tries came down there side, however I'm excited about the growing partnership between him and Carmont.
Smith needs more time with Sam at 6.
Hansen and Lockers to tackle everything that moves in the SR with impact off the bench from Hock and Feka, don't need another prop on the bench with Hock interchange with the other prop.
Pryce to be involved, can play across the backs with power, will be a handful off the bench, big enough to play in the pack if needed.

D'ya reckon?

Agree with the first point. Carmont and Ainy have combined for 3 tries in 2 games which is more than impressive.

Interesting point there about Pyrce, what position in the forwards do you think he could cover?
