Tonights mail was hinting at Thorman, surely not he's got to stay in the halves building the combination with Horne. Hall should get the call IMO, I think his link up play would be a feature, is good under a high ball, hopefully our defence wont be broken too much exposing him.

Hall has got to be the best option if Byrne is out. Just think what the kid must think he has to do if he can't get in when Byrne and Tony are out and that they'd even split up our half back pairing just so one of them can play at fb.

Gotta be Hall. It would send out all the wrong signals if he was overlooked this week as well as it being completely the wrong decision.

Agree, He has to be given the nod.
Anyway Todd will be fine !

Totally agree. Hall is a much more natural FB than Thorman anyway and we need to keep Thorman paired up with Horne so if Todd & Motu are not available we have Hall who is more than capable to step in.
Moving Thorman (or Horne) would make us weaker and leave us rudderless in the middle of the park again.

Hall for me too.

What would be the point in trying the lad out at fullback in the pre-season games, only to move our scrum half there when an injury struck.

If Thorman was put at fullback, who would go into the halfs? Washy?

Thorman was brought in to play alongside Horne, so moving him to FB would be a monumental error for me.
If Byrne is not fit then stick Hall there, really is no other option for me.

If Agar plays Thorman at fullback he wants shooting!!!

Has to be Hall.

If there is any doubt, give him a week off.
Your knee just doesn't 'feel as though it popped' for no reason, rest it.

Totally agree.

i'd go for Hall, the Horne-Thorman partnership is only just getting going, and doesn't need disrupting. And Thorman at fullback could mean another 80mins of Tommy Lee at halfback!

Its not an option to move Thorman from the halves. He only did it v Celtic short term according to the report til Byrne came back on.

If Motu and Byrne are both out it has to be Craig Hall there doesnt it? May be the chance he needs to prove he deserves a place in the 17.

I agree.

With the pack we are going to have, we need to really develope the halves to take full advantage.

Agree with everyone here.

Has to be Hall at full back.

Would be madness to move Thorman there

Again Hall to FB, not half cos Thorman was gash at FB when he was forced to play there for Hudds'

thorman fullback

as i think he will be better i dont think hall is a fullback at all

berigan at 6 or 7

with houghton at hooker

He was there for a bit on Saturday night when Skinny went off. Not for long fortunately.

So you would move half the squad just so it would mean Hall not playing at fullback?



Why break the hb pairing up, move Berro from his best position and make Houghton play a full game at hooker when he can't control the team around yet?

oh dear, we are in trouble

because i dont think hall is a fullback

ok then thorman fullback

and hall to 7

Sorry Danny but....

cant be any worse off then what we could be with hall at fullback

who would you rather have protecting our back line

thorman who can catch and run

or hall who would drop it all the time and cost us points

haven't smoked for years, I haven't giggled as much since that spliff I had 20yrs ago

Yes. Yes we could.

That has to be one of the daftest team selections I've seen posted on here, and it's up against some pearlers.
