Will bring more speed into the team against a team that are no where near s/l speed yet...let Maloney have a go in place of "the fans home-grown favorite King".

G Horne didn't do anything in defence and in particularly in attack last night to suggest he is aa better choice than C Hall.
Our defence was so strong across the line Hall wouldn't have been exposed, and on more than 1 occasion in attack Horne stepped to come back inside whereas Hall would have taken them on on the outside and given his winger more of a chance as he is quicker thinker and has better hands. G Horne didn't do anything with his chances, Hall would have made more of those chances, he's got to start next week.
All existing and generally known ways to immortality can be divided into four catagories.
The way of the Fakir.
The way of the Monk.
The way of the Yogi.
The most honourable being 'The way of the FC'
Maybe controversial, but on last nights showing Yeaman would be lucky not to be dropped before G.horne if Hall was to be given a fair crack of the whip. Why on earth would Agar change the side though? The only 2 players who looked off the pace were Kingy and Wasbrook. I would have had Hall on the bench instead of Wasbrook.

I agree with playing Maloney but I wouldn't drop Burnett, he had a really solid game last night.
Hall will get his chance and I hope he takes it with both hands when it comes along.

Whats the difference between not going to win and going not to lose? Playing for a draw?
If we play the 17 we did last night every game and win 90% of them in a 'safe' way he isnt doing too bad is he!

Yeaman is going backwards. He was shooting out of the defensive line last night, looking for the big hit and leaving Briscoe isolated in defence. Dropped a pass from a Manu break. He has never been the smartest player but he should be guiding young Briscoe not the other way round.
Craig Hall needs to have worked on his defence and size in the off season. Also, I believe some of Craig's deficiencies are down to his attitude. Great talent though, that just needs harnessing.

Thought Yeamo did really well defensively last night. I didnt notice him leaving Briscoe isolated, he stopped the man the times i saw him do it.
He put several excellent skoots in to clear our line and did all that was expected IMO. Solid start to the season.
