Tansey into the halves and Tuner to the bench in place of Houghton. Possibly Moa to get a run out too in place of either Yak or Radford.

Nothing to do with his pace its more to do with the pace of the passing and the fact its going through one too many sets of hands. Tansey gets caught in position when playing as that wider pivot all the time as well.

There is a big difference coming into the line from fullback you can scan the field and have a better view of the gaps then make your run ..at halfback you are in the thick of it and you have to think quicker then make your move ..My opinion Turner had a good game wasn't frightened to take the line on and the lads kicking game wasn't to bad.. also he took a lot of work off R Horne who had one of his best games for years ..But people see thing different ..that why we watch the game and we are not coaches

Just about every pundit and most of the fans would disagree with you, but you're entitled to your opinion.

whiting, calders, briscoe, yeaman, hall, turner, horne
omeley, berro, radders, manu, tickle, fitz
tansey, moa, dowes, lauaki

give moa a go, he must be chompin at the bit surely and id get tom back in the centre, hes not a winger, his strength is going up the middle like at saints when he scored even tho he came in off the wing to do it. and he cant handle the high ball to the wing.

Couldn't agree more. I'm a big fan of Whiting's and I thought he did very well on Friday but, in my opinion, he didn't do anything to suggest he should oust Jordan Tansey from the full back spot. Let's not forget that Tansey has been one of our stand-out players so far this season and I think he offers more in that position.

I'd keep Turner in the halves if Long is missing, and it'd be between Calderwood, Whiting, and Hall for the right wing and centre positions for me. I think Whiting should probably be the right centre but it's a tough break for whoever misses out as they've all been playing well.

Good position for Agar to be in.

only a fool would replace craig hall in the centres for whiting no matter how well he played last

dint tansey play half back at the end of last season think it was against quins?

Well here's a fool as mentioned previousley

Tansy at Full back
Whiting back to Centre
Turner and Horne stay
Moa for CACK (SORRY YAK)
Washbrook for either Houghton Berrigan both as good as each other for me
Rest stays same until Long is back

So berrigan is only as good as houghton and washbrook is better than both? Interesting assessment.

I also like your idea of having 3 centres and 14 men on the pitch. We should go well with that

You would consider dropping Berrigan for Washbrook?

Cack? Houghton & Berrigan as good as each other?

Tansey said in the paper that he wants to play full back and that was one of the reasons why he came to the club. I would put him at full back and let him float around in the attacking line. Turner and Horney did well last week and I think we do need a settle half back pairing when longy is injured. This way we are not disrupting the team too much

For me it would be Tansey back to Full back , Whiting to the bench in place of Houghton (Whiting gives more options in different positions than Houghton and would like to see Berrigan play 80 mins) and the rest of the team stays as it was last week (if all fit)

Berrigan, T Briscoe, Calderwood, Cusack, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Hall, Horne, Houghton, Lauaki, Manu, O’Meley, Radford, Tansey, Tickle, Turner, Washbrook, Whiting, Yeaman

Hoooo Leeeeeee Poooop

Still no Moa then.

Tansey (Tansey should have to earn his place back after a disciplinary issue)

I'd go with that.

I'd swap Tansey and Turner, the rest picks itself.

I'd go with that too, especially the bit about Tansey. Yes he knows he was daft, but he shouldn't just walk back in, particularly as Whiting did a great job in his place.

I agree with you on that.

I agree with you, Tansey is going to get his first choice position back at some point so it might as well be now. Yes, Whitting did a decent job but he does most of the time but he aint going to be the first choice full-back at the club long term, unlike Tansey.

Tansey should come straight back for the simple reason that he's our best FB. Just because he was suspended doesn't change that, however harsh it might be Whiting should be on the bench as he isn't better than what we've got in any of the positions he plays.
