Yup, forward off, Berro to loose to try create a bit out wide

Just about to say the same. Radford for me needs to start but in 2nd row. Tickle or Manu to the bench

No Radford back to second row and Manu to bench I think. Tickle's position in the side must be under some threat after Sunday as well.

Oh I totally agree that he is an option and that he does get us moving forward. Just at the moment my preference is for Lee to cover there.

I cant see that happening either TBH. More likely that Manu will go to the bench. Which might be a good thing as I can see Rovers using the same tactics again and constantly running at him early in the game to tire him out.

good call, i would not have Manu on for the forst 20 as he will get ran at to tire him out

That's the $24,000 question, only Manu, Briscoe and (at times) Kingy had a little passion on Sunday!

We need to show some nouse and use the big men to run at Dobson a lot early on, he is a crap defender and it will tire him out. Or is that too tactical for us

Oh dear lol

Unless the 5 drives and a kick are near Dobson I cant see it happening

He is rubbish in defence. Fact.

Not done a whole lot wrong in defence this season, has looked pretty comfortable to me. Teams have already being trying to work him over in defence and he has stood up fairly strong. Not seen him highlighted on Boots & All as being particularly poor in this area either, do you think Agar will split the 2 Horne brothers defensive positions on the right hand side?

Tbf...it is Cullen doing that and suggesting R.Horne is poor at defence sums up Cullen.

I would personally Drop G.Horne as his defence is awful this season and play Whiting there...he can tackle and can actually pass to his winger

Which is of course the acid test



Just because Cullen hasn't spotted it doesn't mean it might not be true.

So would I. It's a gamble with Whiting's match fitness but G horne has not cut it recently and should be replaced.

I know R.Horne is a very good defender but at the moment both Horne's are not working well together in the defensive line at all. Its been highlighted over the last few weeks, surprised Agar doesnt see it as a problem, unless he has them working on it in training.

He does normally pick out the strengths and weaknesses of the respective teams

There is the problem.......most probably Sharp doing the defence.

Oh jesus christ..............want a sock?

TBF i can think of 2 missed tackles off Dobson that have directly resulted in tries in recent weeks so i would guess he is a defensive spot for most opposition players.

Your probably right but surely someone is overlooking it all and that man should be Agar.



Never been so confident going into a derby game.

I think he has been a defensive 'spot' for most teams all season and I'm sure he will continue to be, I really do think he has stood up well so far.

Well in that case your right he must be brilliant in defence.

'Amazing' would be the word I would use.
