Team for next week .... : Sun Aug 02, 2009 4:34 pm  

There really does need to be some changes and some youngsters need to be put in. Langley, Sheriffe, Newton, Deacon should all be dropped.

Halley
Straugheir
Menzies
Nero
Tadulala
Hyde
Sykes
Lynch
Godwin
Scruton
Morrison
Whitehead
Donaldson

Horton
Burgess
Cook
Kopzcak

But we all know we'll probably see the same shower of $hite as this week.

If Jeffries is fit i'd be tempted to put him in over Hyde, but he won't be here next season so seen as the season is over we may aswell put Hyde in there.

Well Jefferies should be back next week. Deacon CANNOT be allowed his free ride anymore. That BS McNamara brought out the other week as to why Tadulala, Jefferies and Koppy got dropped because of their form, well the 3 of them might not have had the best of games the previous week however Deacon provides nothing to the team any more.

Yet again, Deacon was dreadful and Newton was dire.

However, I thought that Langley had one of his better games.

He may well have done, but I stick by the fact that he's not a loose forward, he plays like a prop, just drives the ball in, well here's a good idea, play him at prop and let a skilful player (Burgess, Donno, Menzies, Morro etc.) play at LF.

Langley? One of our better players today, surely?

I agree. I've been very critical of Langley this year, but I didn't think he was too bad today. He broke the line once, made a few decent yards and tackled his heart out.

The most important thing is that he put 100% effort in, which the likes of Sheriffe and Newton quite clearly did not.

We need some skill and creativity at LF, which is something Langley doesn't offer. Use him as a prop but then Kopzcak will have to be dropped as both Scrutes and Lynch were quality today.

Best game from Langley in ages

A comment that doesn't seem to have been posted is how well Scrutton played today; compared to his form at the start of the season, he continues to improve and was in my opinion, our most effective foward today!
