Brilliant, can't argue too much with that, but, isn't Holden injured?

Pretty much the team I would pick living the dream although I would have Murrell at 13 and Place at stand off. Tangata might get a spot on the bench although lack of match fitness won't help his cause . If the conditions dictate then RM could easily go for Murrell at 6 and have four forwards on the bench with no place for Place !!!

Surely we could all see Scott is not a number 6! Grove shudds, Durham White Gold, 4.0 % Mmm!

Been saying that for the last year or so Hudd Shay . Quality 13 but not a stand off.

Expect a heavy pitch and would go with 4 Forwards with Manning maybe going in the 3/4 if needed. Murrell is way too slow for 6 and better at Lock. Haven are not that strong and would give Tangata game time and Show what he can do.

1. Greenwood
2. Brown.
3. Tyrer
4. Taylor.
5. Saxton.
6. Place
7. Johnson.
8. Ambler.
9. Kaye.
10 Mitch 'The Enforcer'
11. Manning
12.Robbo.
13. Murrell

14. Divorty.
15. Moore.
16. Bracek.
17. Tangata.

6. Murrell
7. Johnson.
8. Ambler.

I understand Murrell prefers 6 and that the team feel they play better with him there.
Could be wrong, often am.

Had heard Miles was sunday's biggest doubt.Who do you consider his fullback would be ?
Martin/Saltonstall over Heaton/Sheriffe for me.

1.Saltonstall
2.Brown
3.Tyrer
4.Taylor
5.Saxton
6.Murrell
7.Johnston
8.Ambler
9.Kaye
10.Moore
11.Manning
12.Robinson
13.Divorty

14.Cahalane
15.Maneely
16.Moore

If Miles is fit enough to play Sunday, I would have him at FB and move Saltonstall to the wing in place of Tommy
