Next couple of weeks is going to really test with the heat and lacking a front row. Game plan has got to be to keep the ball alive in the middle and make their forwards make multiple tackles per play.

With only really one recognized prop (mik) one learning the role (Walters) and a couple of middles (bodene and donno) this now has banana skin all over it for me.

Two things changed the game for Toulouse last week fafitas stupidity, which I hope we avoid, and sangare and belmas adding impact off the bench. I hope we can stick with their pack when they start rotating, especially given the heat.

The heat could work against some of the bigger guys. Its likely to be a high-scoring game in any event, and luckily it probably won't hurt us too much if we lose this one.

If only Agar was still coach. His masterplan of filling the team with middles, who are have more endurance but less impact, could have paid off this weekend

The advantage of every game being televised is we can make direct comparisons when the disciplinary stuff comes out.
Sezer, high tackle, near the end of the game, yellow card.
Keinhorst, high tackle, near the end of the game, no yellow card

Those are the two that stand out as the easiest to compare so let's see what the panel make of it

They should televise the hearings live, like “catch of the day” bunch of numpties.

Myler
Fusitua Hardaker Sutcliffe Handley
Austin Sezer
Oledzki Johnson Walters
Bentley Martin
Smith

Dwyer Aydin Thompson / Gannon / Donaldson / O’Connor

Simpson, Leeming.

If Leeming available, then Leeming to start, Johnson to bench.

Doesn't sound like hardaker will be fit

Re: RD 19 | Toulouse (A) : Thu Jul 14, 2022 11:07 am  

We'll do well to win this one!

No Austin
No Leeming
No Sezer

And obviously none of the banned players

Re: RD 19 | Toulouse (A) : Thu Jul 14, 2022 11:18 am  

I bet Hardaker doesn't make it either, albeit with so many out it may be better just to rest anyone with a niggle to get them fit for the following week.

I hope Sezer doesn't have a fracture?

I would prefer Sinfield at half back to Johnson.

I am presuming our reluctance to recall Edwards back is because he would not be able to return to York immediately after? Should have kept Walker and Broadbent...
