Is CH available for Fri night?

Nice problem isn't it. "What 3 do we pick from this bunch" rather than "oh f**k, look who we've got left to pick from" I'd say stick with Doyle @7 - we have enough big ball carriers in the pack with Afoa, Stevenson, 1F/Diack and Hulk* (and to a lesser extent Tom Court). When look...

Its a sign of potentially great things to come. Onward and upward - bring on the

When everyone is back and fit... if NOC and PJ aren't cutting it - would a realistic option be Paddy Wallace into 10? St. Ruan hits the place kicks and Paddy does the distributing out of hand.

File it under "Plan C"? (or "Plan D"?)

I note we have brought in another fly half into the academy as well as sending McKinney away for experience. Humphreys hasnt confidence in anyone coming through just hoping someone will. If we dont solve it in the next two seasons we will also be without Afoa and unless DFitz strings some game toge...

Amiga, if we lose we are in trouble and playing catch-up from day one. Losing at home to a mid-table team would be a disaster and knowing how good our youngsters are will not compensate................... even slightly. We will not be in trouble because of the points we lost, but we'll be in troubl...

No better time to see if they can cut it.


If we lose, we lose - but we'll straight-up have an idea of whether the youngsters are ready to hold the fort in the Rabble12 games or not.
