His first job is to repaint the visitors shed that lovely shade of cow dung.

well well well

o'donnell could be back for this game! turns out the mystrery injury was his hamstring again.... hope they make sure its right and dont rush it ..then again what good has that done recently!

george should be back too.

so for me murphy at full back and george back on wing.

kev brown looks to be out for the season so again if have robinson and brough with moore and faiumu hookers, lee at loose forward

Nah, keep Eden at FB and George on the wing.

Most definitely.

so drop murphy?? why whats he done wrong...drop one ball in the semi final..

i dont think hes quick enough for the wing, would be better at full back.

Having seen him play all season, he has made other errors. Eden also has made errors, but is a better prospect for the future IMHO. Perhaps play Murphy at centre in place of Gilly?

Possibly

Muphy isnt quick enough for the wing, and doesnt have the attacking flare of Eden from fullback.

He is defensivly sound though so in the centres in place of Gilly might be a good move.

I wonder what Eden's frame of mind will be as it seems he was the big casualty in the "player power" issue and how he feels about his fellow squad members would be interesting to know.

Need to get him back in and get all that out of his system.

wouldnt have gilmore anywhere near centre, id have to stick lawrence in at centre or maybe give murphy a try yes

the sooner wardle is back the better

Although he was a victim, I don't believe he was a target - rather than Nathan Brown dropping Grix after Kevin Brown moved back to stand-off he simply put him in a position he hadn't played in all season and dropped the younger more inexperienced player.

I don't think Eden will hold it against his team mates, because although they may have dictated the style attack - they didn't pick the team.

I wouldn't have him anywhere near the team after his recent performances, he's playing like his mind's elsewhere. Let's start building for next season with players who want to play and aren't just going through the motions.

1.Eden
2.Jerry
3.Leroy
4.Murphy
5.George
6.Grix/Robbo
7.Brough
8 Eorl
9.Robbo/Lee/Moore
10.Mason
11.O'Donnell
12.Doof
13.Fooey

Reps:
Larne
Chan
Fairbank
Robbo /Lee/ Moore

Id go with that

In fact, I'd stick with Grix at 6 as well.

only problem is i cant fit Bruno in unless O'Donnell or Chan dont make it.........

We need the battle for spaces again

1.Eden
2.Jerry
3.Leroy
4.Bruno
5.George
6.Grix
7.Brough
8 Eorl
9.Robbo
10.Mason
11.O'Donnell
12.Doof
13.Fooey

Reps:
Larne
Chan
Fairbank
Lee

I'd also put in Bruno instead of murphy.

The way he's played this season there's no way Bruno should not play. He's been one of the few consistent performers. I'd have him ahead of [iany[/ forward, big name or not, apart from Eorl.

I agree C&G - he's one of those players who's hardwork often goes unnoticed by fans because most of its done in defence- similar to wild.

What I'd like to see for the rest of the season is Larne and Jacob be given a full run in the team and a given every chance to fully establish themselves.
I'd like to see Mason given a full run to see if he's still got it or if we need to release him at the end of the season.
Eden given a vote of confidence and assured the full back spot is his for the rest of the season and to go out to show he's the man for the job next season.
Gilly and Kev to not pull on the shirt unless dire emergency (fully respect the job they've done for us over the years and wish them all the best for their futures but this is about the Giants moving forward)

Good points there.

spot on just like wild...though not as quick!

Oh I dont know, Bruno can motor when he gets clear I think

Bruno is very quick when he get's going, a tad slower than the rest of our outside backs but still very quick.

How far away is Wardle, anybody know?

wild was very quick when he got going...seen him score a few long range tries for us in the past, my fave was v catalans at home!

no one is as fast as crabtre though



wardle i think should be back in 2/3 weeks ...need him back
