Two decent squads, hooker was their weakness last game and they have two back.

They have a big pack and lots of pace we need to combat, but weak in the halfs.

I'd go with

Wynne
Faraimo
Carlos
Connor
Logan
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Masi
Hadley
Manu
Westy

Ellis
Griffin
Paea
Green

I suspect it will be Connor at FB again, but I'd like to see Wynne there again.

Only 4 max would get into our first 17 though so we can't use the injury excuse this week.

Has Ratu been dropped?
What is the timescale on Savelio’s injury ?

Re: Wakey next - win or bust ? : Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:31 am  

Logan was injured for the saints game.

I'd probably have Lane in there, plus Talanoa. I guess them including Arundel on their list is similar. Interesting and close contest on paper.

Wakey have about 6, so not as bad as it looked earlier in the week, both first choice halfs is a big loss though.

Should be a good game.

You can only play with so many back row forwards though and talanoa doesn't play for the club anymore. Still don't see more than 4 changes if everyone was fit but that's a matter of opinion.

Having seen the impact it had on good Friday, I'd start Griffin in the centres, Connor in the halves and bring Kelly off the bench.

Agreed. They are above us in the league on points difference as pointed out many times last weekend, of course.
