Litten sounds to be hot property at present doesn't he? I've always liked him in the under 21's great rugby brain tons of heart and a big engine as well. We look to have a big production line of talent coming g through and the way things are going they'll be getting a baptism of fire from Smithy before long. Just a mention to Dan Tomlinson as well travels to France does punditry on Radio Humberside whilst doing his match updates in the Mail throughout the game, gets post match interviews then back on the plane arriving early hours of the morning down to London full blow by blow match details and extensive interview with Shenton afterwards. I know some on here don't like him (let's face it some on here don't like anyone ) but so far, for me art least, we are getting some good coverage from the Mail.

Agreed Wilf. Dan doing a superb job.

With Litten's form in pre season and this game, I wonder if Smith would be tempted to bring him in and move Hoy to 6.

Are we stronger with Hoy, McNarmara and Clifford or Litten, Hoy and Clifford.

Worth a try maybe

On paper it looks better but who knows as we don’t know how Hoy will be at 6 for us. Though certainly something worth thinking about

Staveley and Laidlaw start for Newcastle. Balmforth is on the bench.

Nice to see us use the dual reg properly. Would be good if Litten and Barron could get some game time at Newcastle this season too

Unless he’s injured Hoy plays fullback.

Think he will miss next weekends game

If that is the case and I hope you’re wrong, again I hope Smith’s bold and plays Litten.
