Dont think 1 centre appearance in the reserves by Whiting would justify taking over from G Horne currently. The halves need to start giving them good ball in the first place anyhow. Richard Horne may be playing fantastically well but really struggles to shift the ball right.

no room for whiting at the moment. Who deserves to be dropped for him?

Tommy lee

Depends if Washy is back. I'd still like to see Manu on the bench in place of Lee and Washy at 13.

To be fair if there is a dissapointment to be had i would have to say that Manu has been ordinary at best so maybe a run in the reserves would buck him up a tad??
Whiting will not be ready for 1st team so give the lad a few games to get his confidence back and match fitness, we are in no hurry and as sure as the sun comes up each morning we will get injuries that will mean he gets a shout again!

agree with that but i dont think any of the team "deserve" to be dropped.

Tommy Lee has been ordinary at best but will also know he was keeping the shirt warm for Washy. Not really classed as being dropped in my book if you were only covering in the short term for someone.

im not arguing mate id defo have washy in the 13 he offers more the Lee, just saying i dont think any of the team is playng badly and would be unfortunate to be taken out of the 17 (in stead of dropped)

On Fridays performance I think Manu needs a wake up call.

I don't think he doesn't try, he just runs to centrally for my liking. The one time he ran really wide it nearly resulted in a try. Lauititi showed how we should use Manu in the WCC.
