The weather is as poor as predicted, so it’s going to be a real battle. Whoever has the better discipline and makes the fewest errors will have a great chance. It feels like a game that’s going to go right down to the last minute with both sides being pretty mobile and not having many players who will fade from a fitness POV.

It might sound daft but I'm not sure Bevan French should be played in this weather - his strengths are practically nullified on a wet and muddy pitch plus he struggled to deal with Fonua last week. Might be an idea to replace him with Manfredi.

Not sure you know. I’d be using him to try and get in behind Fonua from kicks, a bit like the one against Cas and looking to constantly turn Fonua and make him work. He’s a big lad and doesn’t look the fittest or the quickest at turning. This game will more than likely be tight and if there’s little space on offer, if want my biggest threat in terms of speed and footwork in the side.

Let’s drop our best player for a bloke who hasn’t played in about 9 months

Well let's see what happens.

Manfredi on the bench and Byrne starting in place of Clubb are the changes from last week.

Clark might as well pack in, he's never getting a run

Seems like a good team set up. Manfredi to come off the bench when there are tired defenders. Possibly swap Him for Isa drop hardaker to centre and French to FB then we have a new attacking plan with Isa to come on with some strong carries when needed. The big worry is is Manfredi the same player after his injury

Rainy day and he's gone with Shorrocks and Manfredi on the bench.

Certainly a gamble, especially if we get dragged into a an arm wrestle.

I can understand picking Shorrocks but not Manfredi, it might well be a master stroke but it’s a massive gamble.

Manfredi on the bench is very odd.

Unless Lam plans on doing a full shake-up mid-game and putting French in the halves and Hastings to 9 or 13.

4 tackles and we made 15m and then knocked on. What a start!

Willie Isa has gone from Vaealiki to Carmont in the space of a month

There's no way Liam Byrne is a better option than Mitch Clark.

Bateman is fired up!

Too many errors in our own half

Ball control dire so far.

Shambles except one decent move. Inviting Hull onto our line on every set.

Bryne had an awful game so far.

Hull making way too many easy meters.
We look poor so far

Liam Byrne. 2 knock ons, a 6 again and at fault for the try.

Why hasn't he been dragged off?

I can't believe he even gets in the squad nevermind the starting 13.

One of the worst starting stints I think I’ve ever seen from one of our forwards.

Everyone was praising him last week!



Made a few errors today on a wet pitch, but he works hard and does long minutes.

Calm down!

What the actual f**k why we going for two then fu*king miss!!!!!!
