Team for Friendly : Thu Jan 05, 2017 3:20 pm  

Finding it very difficult to get up for this game against our dear neighbours I am afraid, especially with it being away from home again.
But I am sure the closer it gets to Sunday my appetite to see a game of Rugby will drag me there.
A few players missing so be a good chance to see a mixture of the new lads and young players blending with the existing squad. I Don't think its worth risking Quinlan after only a few training sessions so I would like to see us as strong as possible first half, then mix it up.

Heffernan
Oakes
Salter
Minns
Shaw
Abdull
Ellis
Scruton
Lunt
Clark
Blair
Donno
Addy

Clarkson,Milton,Lawler,Jubb,Mulhern,Harris,Moran,Cator

I would expect Quinlan to play as he has apparently been trading hard in Australia. Help him get to know his teammates in a competitive environment.

Heffernen to centre instead of Salter for me then.

Mark, for me this is Salter`s make or break season for me. I have never been his biggest fan, but with him being local and reasonably young I have give the kid some leeway, apart from having a fairly solid defence game he is my definition of bang average, so a good run of games in the championship should show us if he has a long term future at the club.

The jury is still out for me, what you reckon?

Good defence but does not seem to have the eye for an opportunity in attack or I feel the speed to make a decisive break.

His try scoring rate is not good, probably the worst in recent history.

Don't forget your new winger.

Sorry Dave but he's not new. Thought you would have known that.

Disco Dave coming back is odd. Could this be like when Radford came out of retirement just for the derby?

He is a new player registered, anyway that's not the point, strange move, you will walk this league without him playing.
