As you say why not rest Dowe/Cusack and play Radford in the front row to allow Washy/Whiting to go L/F and interchange with the 2 SRs, Play Maloney/Thackray/King as the other props, to give them game time, drop the dumpling to 21s.
Thackray runs SR lines as good as anybody we have, and as Hally said lets throw the ball about through the L/f, we wont and haven't won games playing down the middle this season.
I hate the using of 3 2nd rowers...we need a creative 13...we struggled v Cas and it was blatantly obvious he screwed up V Quins......maybe he hasnt got the bottle to cahnge things.
