See your logic.

I like the impact bench Dave, but is it not worth having Manu up against Senior?

Turner shouldn't be anywhere near 6 whilst Obst and/or Horne are available.

Why? Obst is our rotation 9 and back up 7.

Who says?

Most people who play 7 can play 6 to a pretty good standard, Turner is a good player but is better suited to centre/back row.

i think lynne will play personally but id rather go with briscoe on the wing and manu in the centres

what agar will go with

1.whiting

2.sharp

3.briscoe

4.yeamen

5.lynne

6.turner

7.long

8.omeley

9.houghton

10.radders

11.tickle

12.manu

13.fitzgibbon

subs

14.lauaki

15.moa

16.obst

17.westerman



but like i say id rather see manu at centre, briscoe on the wing with westerman starting in the backrow with washy coming in on the bench.

I agree with that team and if Obst doesnt get the paperwork through in time Washy to replace him on the bench.

this one for me



obst straight in and turner to centre means more players in their correct positions. would like manu and westerman to start but the only way is to move fitz to prop and put radders on the bench, as tickle is a definate second row starter. can't see agar doing this so will go with the above team. i would spell fitz in this game with manu

If we are concerned about Senior i'd move Yeamo to right centre and Briscoe to left.



I wouldn't waste Manu in the centres and i'd finally start using him where he's best, as an impact back rower.

Yup. Dowes can go find some enthusiasm in the reserves.

Yes after all he is a tall small person.

Well, i'm sold.
