There is no Luke Gale also.

He's really impressed me. Seems a good signing. BM always goes for the workers you know. Great to have a young guy like that pushing the other first teamers. Anyway injuries will ensure we will see him soon

Team Would be:

1. Chris Melling
2. Jon Wells
3. Matt Gafa
4. David Howell
5. Will Sharp
6. Luke Dorn
7. Danny Orr
8. Karl Temata
9. Chad Randall
17. Danny Ward
11. Luke Williamson
12. Chad Robinson
13. Rob Purdham

10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook
14. Tony Clubb
16. Gareth Haggerty
23. Dan Heckenberg

Golden & Mbu to sit out.

Maybe jumped the gun,now seen what PP had to say about some of them in training and of course forgetting about busy Easter.

Still stick with that llineup,as feel Williamson might need some game time with Easter coming up. If ws going to rest anyone i would take a chance and rest Karl T after his 80 mins on Saturday. Or dare i take a chance of having my head bite off here, then maybe LMS as he looked tried on Saturday



As for Gale,bit of a shock, that means it leaves us with no cover at Hooker for Randall, unless of course he's picked up a knock in training.
Plus when you think what Mac said about Orr on Radio other night about his neck problem,no cover there either if anything happens to him, yes i know Dorn can slot in and Purds can move to SO,but feel Purds plays better at LF.

BUT isnt this nice to have chat/row

about who to pick and who to leave out,when have a fully fit Sqaud to pick from, and not all row about seating

This is them

1) Brett Hodgson
2) Martin Aspinwall
3) Kevin Brown
4) Paul Whatuira
5) David Hodgson
6) Liam Fulton
7) Luke Robinson


Eorl Crabtree
10 )Darrell Griffin
11) Jamahl Lolesi
12) Andy Raleigh
13) Stephen Wild
14) Simon Finnigan
15) Paul Jackson
16) Keith Mason
1icon_cool.gif Danny Kirmond
19) Michael Lawrence
20 Scott Moore
24)Shaun Lunt

Dropping Golden would be madness, he has been one of our best players all season. I would leave out Williamson/Robinson too.

16 of your full strength squad were in the 46-6 defeat. It should be a real good game!

League form counts for nothing in the cup, our guys are hurting and your form at the Stoop is nothing to shout about. I think it will be a real arm wrestle.

Hope the weather is nice on Saturday. Cannot be anything like at Your place summer rugby my aunt fanny

you southern jessie



That's our summer!

I know.

Forecast for saturday is rain, so I think it will be a repeat of last weeks contest with Hull

.......with the same result


Get past this lot and get a home draw in the next round and we're on our way......

I'll second Alanw's blimey.....makes a change and good to see. I think Golden should play was really impressed with his try.

Drop Golden and you send out the wrong message, its that simple. Doesn't matter how good you play, there'll always be some aussies in front of you.

Correct - Golden needs to keep his place, Good solid hard working player.

And what a great try last week, sheer determination to score.

Maybe he's being rested?

And maybe he will play, he is in the squad. It's only on here he has been dropped at this point.

Didn't we play in crap weather conditions last week when the pitch looked heavy.....

Oops posted a reply in the wrong thread. What is the weather forecast for tomorrow, is it rain. We seemed to handle those weather conditions last week ok.

By Kear!!

All week the Beeb's weather forecast for Saturday has been heavy rain. But now it's changed to light rain a.m. and light rain shower for the rest of the day. Temperature up to 15C.

Sorry didn't realise I sounded like John Kear................

Its to much Sky Sports that does it, i suppose it better than sounding like cullen.............

Might be worth noting:

Between 15.00hrs & 17.00hrs the Wind will be from the West starting at 26km/h and finishing 21km/h As regards rain the forcast is for just 20% 'chance' and only as 'trace' amounts.

you are Michael fish and you can keep the fiver

I know elsewhere I said I would but dropping Golden would be pretty harsh, give a SR a rest ahead of Easter.
