Doesn't matter where he plays solid as a rock, would keep him there for next week and make Tansey earn his place back, maybe on the bench

Well played Rich

I'd agree that he played well, but Tansey has been one of our best performers this season, he had his punishment tonight so should be clean slate and down to who trains the hardest and looks the best during the week!!

Tough decision, especially as both centres had good games tonight so it's not like you could just switch Whiting back there.

How did Turner play? Would it be worth sticking Tansey in the halves?

Thought Turner did OK for his first run out. He and Horne worked well together. Not everything he tried came off but he looked lively and quite inventive. Maybe faded a bit as the game went on but that's not unexpected given this was his first competitive game.

A well deserved MOM for somebody whose contribution is all too often overlooked.

The place was Tanseys to lose. Its now Whitings to lose, or should be.

Brilliant performance by him tonight and well deserved MoM.

Outstanding player, I'd pick him anywhere. Get Tansey back in next week though, and Whiting can slot in somewhere else and still do the business.

Turner did ok, played a part in 2 tries in the first half, solid defended...Horney played better tonight..Whiting was outstanding

Tough choice for Agar next week, Tansey did great in the first three games but Whiting certainly staked his claim tonight. It would be really harsh to deny him a starting berth against Cas.

Personally, I'd keep Richard at full back and start Tansey on the bench.

what impressed me most about our halfbacks was the kicking think there was only one kick (apart from the bombs) that went straight to a quins player the almost always seemed to split the fullback and wingers.

keep whiting at fullback next week, was great tonight, use tansey off the bench if needed as an extra option at 6

Yes would say the same although would be unfortunate for the player who misses out. probs best to see what the squad is and hopefully no more silly behaviour from any players.

In all honesty I think the only change I'd make is Long for Turner if he is fit. FB is now Whiting's to lose IMO.

Rich did a job against a poor team. Tansey must get his place back

Why? It's his fault that he has lost his place in the side and Whiting did enough tonight to justify keeping his place next week IMO.

TBH i'd drop briscoe, ineffective and out of position a couple of times coupled with his mare last week, move Hall out to the left wing, Tansey back at FB and Whiting in the centres.

I think Hall showed tonight that he is much more effective in the centres. Briscoe does need to work on his positioning and dealing with high balls though.

Whiting back at centre (done nothing to lose his place)

Tansey back to full back (served his sentence)

Hall back on the wing for Briscoe who got did nothing tonight

Moa in for fitz who is not a member of the tongan mafia



and bring Morgan in for agar

Who do you drop? Everyone played well in the positions that Tansey can play in. I'd have him sit out another week. Shouldn't break the code of conduct. He shouldn't be guaranteed a place if everyone has played well.

A harsh lesson.

Tend to agree there our least effective back was Briscoe. Agar must play the form players and Whiting is certainly one of those after tonight. Can see Tansey replacing Turner mind.

Briscoe did hell of a lot of work in the first half , Ok he made couple of mistakes overall but not enough to lose his place

This is the point. There is no punitive element to being dropped if you know you'll walk straight back into the side regardless of how well others have played in your absence. Whiting was brilliant tonight and should keep his place in the starting line up. To drop a player following a MOM performance in favour of one who was out of the side for disciplinary reasons sends out entirely the wrong message.

He needs to sort out his weakness under the high ball. I'm sure he is working on it. Young lad with some issues to iron out another being positional sense. No problem with work rate as can be said for 1-17.

Whiting would never have scored the try Hall did though
