Nothing about policemen here: http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.c ... ncy_hurts/ Full strength squad this weekend. It can't go horribly wrong again, can it?

Reasonable assessment from Mac.

if you keep Berrigan quiet and watch Horne you could easily win.

They only just beat us and we gave them so much possession it was unbelievable.

I would play LMS from the start though. he gives you a bit of aggression in the middle and they do have some decent forwards.

I was thinking that. A number of posters on boards after their team game v Hull have said if you match them up front, they run out of ideas and tire in the last 15 minutes.
I would play our heaviest team from the start.

BM says.........

“It might sound weird but I don’t think we actually played that badly".

Yes it does sound wierd......we were terrible

“We were still defending and trying to the end, but we just struggled to keep hold of the ball".

True......they must have dropped it 20 times throughout the game, plus the knock-on`s, forward passes etc etc!!!

"And with Jon Wells, Luke Williamson and Gareth Haggerty all likely to be back in contention, McDermott could be spoiled for choice".

God I hope so.......we certainly have to do better than last week. If we are to attract new punters we cannot afford to mess up again at home, especially on TV (which has often been the case)

He added: “A lot of the players were immensely disappointed and frustrated with how they played last weekend"

Strangely enough, those fans that travelled were not feeling to chipper either!!!

“We will have virtually a full-strength squad to choose from, and we will need it".

Key word here is `virtually`........sounds to me like the injured players will not all be ready to make a return......or perhaps we have a few walking wounded from last week? (Purdo did not look 100%)
