Indeed. You have to be brave to go with 3 props. You'll get a tired middle defense.

But equally, vaste, you'd go without Murphy and Hall?

I think MA will go with Langi in the centres PT and I`d rather have Lyne on the field as I think he is one of our strike players. I spoke to Mash about Langi and he said as assistant coach he was the player they identified as the biggest strike threat when playing Catalan, with that in mind and what I have seen of Langi in pre season I think he will start in the centres. Hall hasn`t done anything wrong, we just have to go with our best team. Taufua/Murphy I'm not sure about, I know people think there is no way we can leave Murphy out I just have a feeling MA will go Tafua and Lineham for R1.

Oh wait, maybe Kay on the bench.

Or Smith ?

You cant leave Murphy out, he is our best strike player.

When and where did you supposedly speak with Mash about Langi?

You really are bizarre, I`m here to talk about our round 1 game, stop derailing. Lets see who you think will turn out in the 17.

I just think it's funny that every now and then you post about talking to people in the spotlight but have previously stated your profession so we know you're not in media or anything to do with Rugby. First Westerman, then Miller, now Mash. Just interesting buddy.

FWIW This is the squad I would go with.

Jowitt, Tafua, Lyne, Langi, Lineham, Gaskell, Lino, Atoni, Smith, Whitbread, Pitts, Ashurst, Proctor.

Int; Kay, Battye, Butler, Tanginoa

Don't think - and after seeing him on Sunday that Kelepi has had a run out due to injury and is fit, never mind he'll be able to play.

I find your obsession strange, borderline stalker like, been that I'm not the only one on here that can or has talked to a player or a coach or someone involved in the club in any capacity, believe it or not it happens a lot. I`m not sure why I have to explain how my life, profession, whereabouts, what I had for tea last night fits into having a chat with a player or a coach after a game or in a local pub. Did my comment that Mash was very happy with signing Langi offend you in some way?

Just pointing out the obvious bud, we all know the conversation never happened but it if you want us all to pretend that we're impressed and that you're "in the know" then we will.

Anyway. Back to the thread xD

He'll be heavily missed then. Very scary pack with Atoni, Whitbread, Tanginoa and Proctor fit.
