Want I'd pick,

I'd go with:

1.Whiting
2.Sharp
3.Turner
4.Yeaman
5.Briscoe

6.Horne
7.Obst

8.O'Meley
9.Houghton
10.Radford
11.Fitzgibbon
12.Tickle
13.Westerman

14.Washbrook
15.Lauaki
16.Manu
17.Moa

My only problem there would be having Moa and Lauaki on at prop at the same time, as soon as a side saw that they'd hammer us around the ruck.

And if we played expansive rugby, I know we don't, fitz would be to slow for second row.

See what you're saying about Moa and Hame, but I think they're both playing relativley well this season and work well at the same time. Hope Lauaki carries on to progress his good form, doing well this season.

In which case it would be nice if they could both play a bit more than they have so far.

Aye, would be nice!

must have missed that, great minds think alike, or we both have same faith in agar, at least!

Not going to happen but my side:-

1. Whiting
2. Sharp
3. Turner
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Horne
7. Obst
8. O'Meley
9. Houghton
10. Radford
11. Manu
12. Tickle
13. Westerman

14. Washbrook
15. Lauaki
16. Fitzgibbon (PR)
17. Moa

I'd go with that too.

And me. Can someone e-mail it to Agar

Wont happen....But id go with it too.

Or Kath, or Rule

While they're at it can they e-mail him a game plan too?

same side for me aswell

In no way does Fitzgibbon deserve to be dropped to the bench, yes he is playing too many minutes and should be spelled but as our captain he should certainly be starting games and his work ethic is such that he certainly shouldn't be dropped, along with that out of all of our props he is the one most suited to starting games. Would have him starting at prop alongside O'Meley. The debate is probably more to do with Radford/Lauaki/Moa and fitting 2 of those onto the bench. Having said that given that we play an extra prop at 13 then we would lose out with Westerman there as he isn't really the hard yards kind of forward. If he plays 13 then we have to play more expansively and allow him a free role to roam and do damage where he sees fit. If we are to continue with a forwards based gameplan then Fitz at LF is what we will continue to see.

For me out of all of the forwards Tickle is the one needs a kick up the back side and the idea of benching him or giving him a week off should be in the thoughts. Lauaki could fill a back row role with Radders and Moa spelling O'Meley and Fitzgibbon. This also gives the flexibility of if a prop is excelling leaving them on for longer minutes and Fitzgibbon doing a spell in the back row.

My team would be: (with a license to entertain)

1. R Whiting
2. W Sharp
3. J Turner
4. K Yeaman
5. T Briscoe
6. R Horne
7. S Obst
8. M O'Meley
9. D Houghton
10. C Fitzgibbon
11. W Manu
12. D Tickle (with a warning that he needs to improve on recent weeks)
13. J Westerman

14. D Washbrook
15. E Lauaki
16. L Radford
17. S Moa

Lost count how many times been told this week o'meley was out for #hullfc. Just seen someone who looks a lot like him training at Ionians.

who said ogre was injured?

That would be my preference.

A certain Rovers mod iirc.

Good news, he would have been a big loss.

After last sunday's bitch fest over o'meley,i hope he gets a bloody good reception!!!!

Whiting
Sharp
Turner
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Obst
O'Meley
Houghton
Fitzgibbon
Manu
Tickle
Westerman

Washbrook
Moa
Radford
Lauaki

Of course he will, emotions are running high presently but every one respects that the issues are not with the players.

I don't understand why people would drop Fitz.
