Be amazed if Jake is fit.

like i say, not going to happen but i'd go with

1/Mcintosh
2/Swift
3/ Carlos
4/ Wynne
5/ Mitch
6/ Lovodua
7/ Hookem
8/Ligi
9/ Houghton
10/ Evans
11/ Ma/u
12/ Lane
13/ Fash

14/ Satae
15/ Taylor
16/ Brown
17/ Griffin

Taylor out now, id bring in Balmforth onto the bench.

Quite like this team, have a lot of pace at 1,6 and 7.

Be amazed if Gale and Reynolds don't play, at least one of them anyway.

Although we might have to stop playing Gale to make sure he 2nd year isn't activated,

I'd rather go with Swift at FB rather than McIntosh as I feel he is the better of the two under high ball which Cats will likely pepper us with. Though I think it may well be Shaul that comes in as the replacement FB.

As for the banning of Taylor think its a very harsh decision as it just looked as though Reece Lyne got his feet caught under the tackle as Taylor had hold of his legs. We should have known when Griffiths put it on report we'd likely cop a ban.

Hodgson selected Adam Swift at full back a few times last season so that may be an option BH is looking at.

He has also played Griffin there and he was actually ok
has to be Shaul to full back rather than shuffling players around and if Carlos is not fit then play Mitch at right centre and Lovodua at 6.
Reynolds should be dropped and if we had options at 7 Gale also

To be honest in regards the half’s after the poor performances I’d much rather sit both out and go with Lovodua and Hookem as we have nothing to lose by doing so. I’d also hope BH will bring Balmforth in to contention to spell Houghton particularly with the likelihood it will be hot.

Agree, it's a frustration he's trying to play Reynolds into form when we have Lovodua wasted on the bench. Who has looked far better than Reynolds at 6.

Reynolds also has the same clause in his contract to automatically activate the 3rd year of his contract.

Another reason to stop playing them both, seems a stupid clause, surely it should be based on performances rather than appearances?

Think it would be a fair assessment to say neither Gale or Reynolds have delivered anywhere close to levels of performance you would expect from experienced halfs even considering there ages and being in the twilight of their careers.

If neither of them played again this season I doubt we would be any worse off, I really hope that we have neither in the playing squad for next season.

Would play Gale .drop Reynolds. Lovodo to stand off.
