Based on Fridays game you could add rankin and Talanoa to that list, but we won't have any players left.
I'd start with Cunningham and have Houghton the bench.
No creativity at all from the halfbacks, rankin for Sneyd wasn't really like for like id say rankins more like pryce, why wasn't Harry Tyson Wilson brought in if he has a good kicking game and should he given a chance against saints , we'd probably create more with yeaman and westerman at halfback so why not
He should gradually put the youngsters in which he hasnt. Now because the team are rubbish fans are wanting them to all come in. If they do and we get well and truly hammered fans will say he put too many of them in together and we need experieced players. Catch 22 isnt it.

logan has done nothing wrong, if anything he has been given poor play from our halves!
houghton needs to be dropped to the bench! start with cunningham offers more going forward! bring on houghton when saints tire! (if they tire)

Not sure if it was Logan fault as would have to watch it again, but there was a big gap left were he should have been when Dixon scored and Goluding nearly did.
I don't think he is ready yet and would play Talanoa at centre and Lancaster on the wing.
Why Radford didn't move either Mini or Pryce to help Logan is anyone's guess, another poor coaching error from the coach.
Logan was at fault for 2 of there try's and nearly a 3rd. As much as people slate Yeaman he wouldn't have made the same mistakes. He just looked out of his depth atm. Didn't help him having Hadley as his 2nd row either tbf.

If Talanoa had cleaned up that kick for their try he wouldn't have been far off my motm. I thought he carried the ball really strongly, particularly when we were pinned on our line.
In fact I've just looked at the stats and he made 175 metres off 16 carries. He is also down as making 5 errors, but at least 2 of those must have been jumping for attacking kicks.
There is only so much juggling of the team we can do, but I would consider giving HTW a go at 7. Some might say it's chucking him in at the deep end and he's not ready, but Pryce and Rankin are too similar. At least Harry has a style that should go pretty well with Pryce. I'd also put Rankin back at FB, Shaul is a live wire but our attack is blunted even further by having him linking in.
So my (slightly experimental) team would be.
Rankin Lineham Michaels (hopefully Sa is fit) Talanoa Lancaster Pryce HTW Paea Cunningham Bowden Minichiello Westerman Thompson
