1-Richards Decent FB, on the wing he can finish and catch a high cross field kick, thats about it.
2 Ainscough Best winger in the squad, looks far more efective than Pat, Amos and Phelps ever do it attack.
3 Pryce Why not? Goulding and Phelps are under par and both have had their chances.
4 Carmont Best centre at the club
5 Roberts So far looks like an average player, hopefully will be more effective with a good centre with him.
6 S Tomkins Time to give the guy a chance, Smith and Lulu clearly doesn't work
7 Smith Hopefully with a running natural HB partner he could just concentrate on bring a 7
8 Fielden Although isn't worth the cap he's on he doesn't make too many mistakes and tackles up well. For me doesn't cause enough problems in attack, is an average SL prop nowadays. face facts
9 Tommy Best Hooker at the club. Took Wayne Benno a few games to see how uneffective he is at 7 but how effective he can be at 9. Stop wating our time putting him at 7
10 O'Carroll Will get better with every game
11 Bailey Not great but offers for more in attack than Hansen
12 Lockers Never a 13 but a good strong defensive SR, in over an average Hansen
13 Tomkins Best backrow forward we have

14 Feka Great impact, still not got the fitness to last 60mins (interchange with O Carroll)
15 Hock good for impact but will make too many errors to have on for the full 80.
16 McClorum- given the nod over an unfit Piggy who is too slow to get the team moving up off the line at speed.
17 Precott- BIG lad, future 60min prop, in much need of game time.

Hansen-offers nothing in attack, boarderline unless. Can tackle all day long but so can Lockers. need a balance in the SR of an attacking SR and a tackle manchine. I'd take Bailey and Lockers for a better balance.

Coley-pants. 3 quarter length pants
Mathers-Poop
Phelps-Not as good as the wingers/centres who are starting
Riddell, needs to seriously work on his fitness first. Knowing his history I know how he's not keen on dropping weight ask StGeorge.

Take Hanson out the side and watch the "against" points increase. Hansen tackles everything and very very rarely misses. We are struggling for players who are good defensively at the moment.

I bet you can hear me laughing in London

IF that is our team next week, you'll be crying mate.

Don't think so. IL will probably see the result for himself and ask Nobby to do the right thing on Monday 2nd March

You keep talking your team up. Quins will just go about their business quietly. Lets see who comes out on top.

There is only one bench mark between the teams at the moment and that is Cas!!

We will start getting ready for the bottom team when we have played the best team in the southern hemisphere tomorrow.

See you at the Stoop.
