He went OK in the nines but no better than spiers or trouty. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't even think he's had a game at 13 aside with the club.

Perhaps he got picked because he's a player thats never been coached by Mopsey



PS I hope we are all talking about the French forward, because if its the back he looked really sharp and tricky and would be well worth a shot on the wing from what I saw.

Moore out for 3weeks with hamstring injury.
I'd go

Blaymire
Johnson
Murphy
George
Griffin

Hyde
Lee

Amor
Tony
Korkidas
Mariano
Henderson
Masselot

King
Higgins
Wildie
Semi

Rinaldi clearly isn't fit and neither is hickey but in a different way! The French kids natural position is loose forward I think so give him a shot, semi to be used as cover for back line and second row if needed. Wildie interchange hooker or cover for halfbacks. Can't believe davey still not getting in don't know what the poor lad has to do to get a good run in the team.

there's no way Semi should play ahead of Johnson unless he's injured, he's one of the few players we have that look to pose a threat with ball in hand imo

Dont give me that have you seen how good murphy is at fb??? He as the potential to be awesome. Blaymire come on did you see his attempt to tackle whiting on sunday when he couldnt be assed running back to get him. Come on vasty you are better than this to see he is dead wood !

Really don't know what you have against Blaymire but it's obviously personal.

Murphy good from fullback at joining the line and returning the ball, but he will never be as good positionally or under the high ball as Blaymire is. Blaymire's attack may not be as good but defensively he is the best fullback we have IMO.

James Deighton on his twitter reckons, Murphy and Hickey are doubts for HKR.

Hope Murphy can play - one of our best defenders and will be missed if he's not fit

You are 100% correct.

You won't be smiling soon

Hickey survives the chop

What !!! Hickey's in the 17????? If so, nit sure how anyone can defend JK's decision with that

we'd do better with this guy at prop forward



at least he could last longer

Hickeys played about 20 min a game four times and managed to miss 15 tackles in that time. Says it all.

If I were to pick our best attacking side:
Murphy
Johnson
George
Walshaw (untried but big, strong and sound what is there to lose)
Tadulala
Wildie
Moore
Korkidas
Rinaldi
Amor
Mariano
Johnson
Morrison

Davey
King
Higgins
Henderson

Assuming this is when everyones fit then I wouldn't have Hendo anywhere near our best attacking side! Swap him for Howarth and i'd go with that team. We'd still play 5 drives and a kick though!

Hickey in for King

Pork?

Cant see why people are putting Johnson in second two, he's played prop all year and put in some stellar performances, think he's used to playing front row now and changing him to back row could have a detrimental effect on his performance. Talking to him at the meeting at cedar court I asked him what position he came to the club as and he said he'd been propping for saints 20s.

I think it's done out of sympathy - the poor lad has had the stuffing knocked out of him in every game he's played for us, with little respite. He deserves a break from carting the ball up the middle all game.

I would also say he has become less effective doing it. Get him running out wide a bit (yes that means actually getting the ball out there) and let him try make some metres out there.

Its shocking,its time Kear went.

Agreed. I want to know how in his current state Hickey could pass a fitness test to play!!!

he's good at tackling over the line.
