Despite the old joke on Have I Got News For You saying "allegedly" doesn't get around libel laws and one thread has already been deleted.

FWIW I think it's just a general attitude problem with Savelio. Smith has said that he only want to work with players who are commited to improvement.

Wouldn't be looking to change things too much. Keep Houghton at 9 but give Dwyer some more minutes.

If Hoy is back then he comes in with Litten on the wing. If Swift isn't fit then Scott keeps the wing spot.

Wakey seem to have improved by their own standards over the last 2 rounds, has the potential to be a massive banana skin. Hopefully we don't slip back into our old habits.

It's in our DNA to beat the top side then to go on an have a stinker against the bottom side .

The way the disciplinary work,
Truman could get a ban..

For the sin bin? No way. Unless I missed something else

Hasn't pulled up any trees has he

He's no where near the minichello manu ellis level

If Smith doesn't think Savelio has the right attitude and therefore doesn't want to play him then I support that. Setting the right culture has to be the most important thing even if it weakens us slightly on the pitch. That said, we need to sort out the Jordan Lane problem. He is sticking out like a sore thumb, he makes no impact when he carries it. He drops off easy tackles and he makes errors. Either put Scott to the second row or give one of the youngsters a shot.

no but we need to win matches and surely cant keep playing Lane in front of Savelio,so if thats the case then something internal has gone on and it looks like there is no way back for him

Tuimavave for me is the obvious choice.has the strength to play second row.
That way Scott can play centre

No he hasn’t but he is a lot better than say Jordan lane is at the moment. So in my eyes he must of done something. If he has had a bad attitude to hard work etc then like most on here have said I back Tony smith 100 percent. I have had enough of players ruling the roost . The coach is the gaffa . Simple as that .
