Ambler, Pitts, Singelton all competing for the bench spots depending on form. I didn't say we should drop them. Just didn't name them in my 17!



Clarkson is a Loose, but isn't likely to get that until Sinnie goes so he'll have to make do with stints from the bench.



McShane looks lively and talented, but is by no means Buderus. Burrow (heart & desire aside) is looking less lively and less talented. Makes sense to me to have McShane on the pitch over Burrow.



BJB is better than Smith at FB.



And where's all this come from about Wilson?! He's not even had his début yet and people are having him as the first name on the sheet?! He can shine all he wants in the U20s, I'm not putting him in my squad until I've seen some SL game time.

Starting pack wouldn't be that out-muscled!? Peacock, Bailey, Delaney?! I agree bench is light, but read the edit.

How many games has Delaney played in the backrow for us?



We bought him as a . He isn't producing the goods in that role, so we just accept that he is a backrower now and everybody says that's where to play him?

He's a big bloke, with a bit of extra pace. He's not afraid to go forward, and he's not afraid to tackle. He does, however, lack the positioning, footwork and ball handling skills to be a top class centre and as you've said, wasn't producing there.



So yes... we just accept that he is a backrower now.

Packs are generally 10 men from the 17 on almost any given match-day.



The four props (where are your other two btw) will expect to and be expected to play roughly 40 minutes each. To ask more than 40 from any of them is a tough requirement and a potential underuse of some of the bench players, IMO.

According to his interview in the programme for Friday, it's also where he sees his role.



It was a switch that worked well for Chris McKenna too.

JP was calling for 10 interchanges last time I spoke to him. Sounds like he's ready for your challenge.

What sort of defence is that when the link is clearly to the online article.





FWIW, the paper version is not available where I live either.

Most of my defence hinges on the fact that it's rubbish and I didn't read it when there was usually a copy sat around in the tea room.



Geography just serves to make an already unlikely event even less likely.

Who writes the articles for the programme these days, is it still the same bloke who writes for the YEP?
