.... I'd bring Pryce back at no 6.
I'm still not convinced Carlos is the answer (yet), and the next 2 games against Warrington and Cas really could cement a top 2 place.
Not the games to be proving that Carlos is the answer.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Yeh why not go with carlos on the bench again, pryce back at 6. Worked well against rovers, and is definitely a positive plan b

Problem with carlos on the bench is we lose forward rotation

But our props can manage big minutes so it's no problem having a pivot or an outside back on the bench.

Radford was correct to drop Pryce but i think he has made a hole for himself now stating that Carlos Tuimavave is our answer to the 6 problem.
I like Carlos but he was far more effective at left centre.
So what does he do now knowing we have difficult games ahead.
Does he keep the Sneyd/Carlos combo which realistically is work in progress or bring back a hopefully rejuvenated Leon Pryce with a point to prove?
I think he should bring back Pryce but what will he do with Tuimavave?
I hope he doesnt feel obligated to put Carlos on the bench as we really need to keep a stronger bench with Pritchard,Green,Bowden and Thompson/Hadley

I don't see a hole being dug. We have a couple of options in the halves, one younger, fresher, less experienced, one older, wilier, with some injury challenges. I'd invest time on combinations in training and pick based on form and opposition.

Our best performance of the season was played without carlos, manu and pritchard. I actually think that our best team is probably one where ellis and mini play 2nd row for long minutes but that leaves us with the problem of what to do with frank and manu. We certainly look better with ellis playing out wide rather than down the middle and rotation of thompson, green and bowden has been effective when we start with watts and taylor. Prtichard's best games for us have been when he was started which he has expressed a preference for. I guess it's nice to have such an embarrassment fo riches in the 2nd row but not sure it means we get the best out of the squad

Carlos can come on & change a game so his presence from the bench is as equal as one of the props.

Think Saints away was best but I understand what you mean by Cats. Stronger team but it was only the second game? Think we should stick with Carlos now, dropping him for Leon could cause him to go into his shell? He hasn' t done anything wrong and needs to build a partnership with Sneeeeeeedd. Pack wasn't firing last night and really missed Watts, the go forward will be back next Friday and should set the platform for the halves.
