As with the Smith/Brown pairing we have next to little craft in the halves. Saw more from the Smith/Hoy pairing than Smith/Brown. Brown is by far the better 9 so he should be at 9 and Balmforth on the bench who at least offers some attacking threat, speed and guile in his game.
With Ese’ese back and Bullock on loan I’d rather Smith go with Sao at LF.
My thoughts exactly chris, finding tony smith abit frustrating with his stubborness, on balmforth , houghton and the constant square pegs at loose forward.
I accept weve had injurys and bans, but lets see everyone in their best most effective positions, and start blooding more fearless energetic youth, no coincidence staveley and martin have been two of our better performers, i just get the feeling balmforth will.rip it up given the chance. But we l plod on with a tired aging houghton who offers zero in attack.
