Wouldn't be looking to change things too much. Keep Houghton at 9 but give Dwyer some more minutes.

If Hoy is back then he comes in with Litten on the wing. If Swift isn't fit then Scott keeps the wing spot.

Wakey seem to have improved by their own standards over the last 2 rounds, has the potential to be a massive banana skin. Hopefully we don't slip back into our old habits.

It's in our DNA to beat the top side then to go on an have a stinker against the bottom side .

The way the disciplinary work,
Truman could get a ban..

For the sin bin? No way. Unless I missed something else

Hasn't pulled up any trees has he

He's no where near the minichello manu ellis level

If Smith doesn't think Savelio has the right attitude and therefore doesn't want to play him then I support that. Setting the right culture has to be the most important thing even if it weakens us slightly on the pitch. That said, we need to sort out the Jordan Lane problem. He is sticking out like a sore thumb, he makes no impact when he carries it. He drops off easy tackles and he makes errors. Either put Scott to the second row or give one of the youngsters a shot.

no but we need to win matches and surely cant keep playing Lane in front of Savelio,so if thats the case then something internal has gone on and it looks like there is no way back for him

Tuimavave for me is the obvious choice.has the strength to play second row.
That way Scott can play centre

No he hasn’t but he is a lot better than say Jordan lane is at the moment. So in my eyes he must of done something. If he has had a bad attitude to hard work etc then like most on here have said I back Tony smith 100 percent. I have had enough of players ruling the roost . The coach is the gaffa . Simple as that .

Spot on!

Need a big following at this one, Trin away is always a tricky game for us. They've been improving and Gale will have a point to prove. Hoping we can keep the run going and get on a roll into the Cas cup game.

More nervous about this game than the last 2. You just know we'll find a way to stuff it up

Especially with it being on TV

I'd have been really worried, had we not won the last two, pressure would have been massive going into the game on the back of 9 defeats and a Wakey win would have put the team in trouble.

Pressure off now and I expect us to play with some confidence and win this game.

No bans for us. Surprised Proctor didn't pick up a ban after his red card

Good news for us this, another Kane Evans

The Savelio one isnt that much a mystery as some are making out, go back and watch the games and watch his attitude in defence, flat footed and downright lazy. Showed terrible attitude defending. I get lanes not been great , which i put down to probably poor confidence caused by poor form. I thought Lane was alot better against Wigan id be interested to see hos tackling stats in that game, hopefully he l keep it up. But his attitude is alot better now compared to Savelios.

Smith knows whos taking the club for a ride and the ones not giving value for wage are being moved on. Griffin and Taylor have certainley knuckled down under Smith.

Like most games this season, his stats were poor, 33 tackles but 6 misses, its his attacking stats that are even worst, 7 hit ups for 28 metres.

His best metres in a game was 72 metres, Savelio on the pitch is streets ahead of Lane, but if his attitude isn't right I ca understand him being dropped.

I just hope we are looking to move him on soon, no point him say on the naughty step for the rest of the season.

Lane grabbed and missed Farrell and Thornley in the first half resulting in breaks.

Lanes tackling is better the last couple of matches but still grabs far to often. Also when was the last time he made or looked like making a break

He used to run some pretty good lines in attack but he seems sub-par at best in recent games. Could just be a form thing and I'd give him and Smith the benefit of the doubt but long term either Lane improves or we improve the squad and he doesn't feature.

10 Point win for me and it's on Sky so yippee !
I would much rather see a 10-6 win than 42-28
We must keep defence strong. Then we beat Cas and I get to see FC in the CC quarters. My last game was 9 years ago, funny enough at Wakey where we got a late draw. Atmosphere was terrible as FC were in such a mess on and off the field.

Jordan Lane - at his age it's one of 2 things. Really simple. He either CAN'T do it or WON"T do it.

I think at this stage if it's either Can't or Won't do what he's asked, then Connor Wynne likely needs a room mate.

Not looking forward to this game in the slightest

don't care how we play just need to leave with the two points

Brown is in for Barron, still no Tex Hoy. Same team apart from start Trueman put Brown on the bench leave Macca out, Swift for McIntosh if he's fit.

Litten
Scott
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Swift if fit
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Mint
Fash
Lane
Griffin
Cator
Subs
Dwyer
Brown
Tag
Satae

The other option is Mac and Swift wingers, Cam Scott on bench to cover back row and backs instead of Brown. But Cam had a good game the other night so be harsh

We need yo improve PD but i'd just take the win
