IF Radford doesn't start with Abdul or indeed have Cunningham in the 17 then I personally think it'll bite us. Is he going to use Whiting at 13 then or just go with the heavy brigade approach to counter their forwards?
I'd rather outplay them & make their forwards do a lot of chasing/turning around from good play, that to me means using Abdul from the off & bring on Cunningham for a good 15 minute spell each half not just the last 5 minutes or so which is a complete waste.

Westerman back for Saints.

For mine I' go with

Rankin
Talanoa
Michaels
Sa
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Mini
Abdull

Feka
Green
Whiting
Thompson/Cunningham

Think Abdull is a good young talent and needs to be put in the 17 as he is the best option we have after Westerman for LF and with more experience at this level will only improve.

Rankin
Micheals
Yeamman
Talanoa
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Mini
Whiting

Feka
Green
Sa
Thompson

Hadley has had a abdominal op so he's out for six weeks.

Not sure why there's a rush to drop Thompson to the bench. Been one of our best players this season.

Indeed. He is also a good young talent that needs developing. He could become the strike secondrower we've been lacking for so long.

Agree , Been one of our best forwards recently .

Deffo one of Uncle Peter's better signings.
