We are short of props but this team should still be good enough to win, if we don’t get a big fired up response something is desperately wrong. Obviously if Oledzki is good to play he should be in, presuming he isn’t.

I’d just be interested to see fusi at centre, and Tindall is the only player who’s given us some excitement this year!

Oledzki at loose forward, Leeming and Prior in the 2nd row, Bentley at hooker with Martin and Smith at prop. I suppose it’s worth a try, it can’t really be any worse than before.

Did I miss the successful appeal against Priors 1 match ban?

Bodene Thompson “We’re lucky in that we’ve got really good depth, especially in the forwards". Do they just reel off these soundbites without any care?

We do have lots of forwards, especially "middles". Loads of those.

Passed HIA. Hopes to play. Still a bit ambiguous about Oledzki... even if he's named in the squad.

Quantity over quality in Middles.
And that's stretching quality to its limit
