It is the correct decision imo...Saints struggled with our pack last time out.

He always wins the wrestle, dosn't give penalies away and is very experienced, sometimes people think all props are blockbusting, but thats not the case, he is at the end of his career but has missed a few games this season, so will be fresh. I'd rest Radders, with him carrying a knock.

I don't see that there's any other option. If you're going to be technical, Fitz isn't a prop and Radfords only been there this year, so it's only 4! 2 of them are impact aswell!

1.tansey

2.hall - please no criticism
3.turner
4.yeamo
5.briscoe

6.washy
7.longy

8.ogre
9.mcshane - bit of a change
10.dowesy

11.manu
12.tickle

13.sir fitzy

14.houghton
15.radders or yak
16.moa
17.burnett

18.the 18th man!!!

Good decison to drop Whiting, been poor this year, Hall has been outstanding and deserves to replace him.

Hall and Burnett played fo the reserves last week, they will be the 2 to drop out.

are you saying you'd keep rich in instead of craig? Crazy talk dave!!!

Manu has been in outstanding form from starting so would keep it that way.

He seems evry fit this year and is playing lots of minutes, so i woudl start him to maximise how long he is on the pitch

Negative post shocker!

Flippant, yet irrelevant, response shocker!

Not criticising but why would you drop Whiting and replace him with Hall ?

He may have been in good form (wouldnt say outstanding) but that doesnt mean he couldnt be better utilised by playing him differently.

Won't happen. Manu will play 60 minutes, spelled by radford, tickle will play 75 minutes and get to sit on the bench for the last 5

I think it is always improtant to start well against Saints so would start our strongest back row of Manu, Tickle and Fitz.

Because it's considered cool and fashionable to rant about cancelling the contracts of player you don't like, no matter how daft or impractical it might be.

What's going on with Calderwood? The silence from the club is deafening.

You put Hall in the team and expect no criticism, He is a liability in defence as you would have seen when he came on against Cas we let in two quick tries down his wing, granted they may not have been fully down to him but teams are not daft and they will exploit a weakness like Hall.
Against Saints who are known for throwing the ball about it is beyond comprehension to play a player who is defensively poor.

That's alongside dropping one of the stand out performers of the season so far.

i'd go for

tansey
whiting
turner
yeaman
briscoe

washbrook
longy

o'meley
mcshane
dowes
tickle
manu
fitzgibbon

houghton
radford or burnett
cusack
moa

houghton will start,mcshane on bench.radders will start at prop,dowes on bench.

I said [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=34&t=451915HERE[/url that Calderwood was out for 8-10 weeks, which is 8 weeks this week so possibly another 1 -2 weeks. Unfortunately i was told i was wrong because this hadn't been confirmed by the club, not bad for someone 'not in the know' eh??


Lets just see what happens over the next fortnight. IMO Calders will return for the Hudds game with a slim chance of Salford with Tommy B on England duty!!

Calderwood is out until the start of July at the earliest!

And will probably play a couple of games before being injured again, however he will be rewarded with a 2 year contract extension!!!

Thought he was back for Salford?
