| I'd swap Hall for Calderwood, but if there are no other injuries, keep it the same. Crusaders won't be easy.

Nothing. But if our international winger is fit we have to play him as a specialist in that position. FWIW i dont think Calders is back for a further couple of weeks.

Missed a couple of tackles. Made a couple of wrong decisions in attack. Poor positional play on a number of occasions. Calderwood was one of the stand out performers last year.

He is out of position and it shows on occasions, would welcome Calderwood back as he has bags of experience and will do well on the back of Longs kicks down.

| I would have Calderwood back in the team but otherwise I'd be wary of too many changes.

| Whiting keeps his place for me but when fit Calderwood comes back in whether Hally is playing well or not. Calderwoods enthusiasm and chase of the kick is something different.

| i'd love to see turner, washy, moa and burnett get some game time but if we start swapping players round after the last two performances i think it sends the wrong message out. Those players who have the shirts now deserve to keep them. Hall had to work for his try, it wasnt a strole. I hope he keeps his place! Injuries pending i'd be very tempted to go same again. Injuries will come at some point and all the guys will get a chance. 25 rounds still to go.

| I dont think we should drop players but i am all for a bit of rotation to give some of the big lads a break when we can. Fixtures like Crusaders & Salford (No offence to them but arguably 2 of the weakest sides in the comp) are games that big clubs will use to rest big players. We certainly have the strength in depth in the forwards to rotate them a bit without losing any go forward on the pitch as well.

| Radford obviously took a knock,if hes not fit I would bring in Sam other than that I would leave it the same, especially with the 9 day turnaround.
There may be more need to rotate players for the Quins game with the short turnaround.
Lauaki if fit needs to play every game the more gametime he gets the better he will be.

Or on the flip side to that you recall a winger to play on the wing and replace the centre that has been covering there, which in turn makes the team stronger. Do you keep the team the same then even if you can make it stronger?

| Well made point Dave. Calders would add to the team IMO however it is a tough call to make. If a player performs well on the pitch and you then drop him what message does that give to other players especially fringe players.
These are decisions Agar has not had to make previously with our injury run, now he has to make them and i hope he makes the right call for the TEAM rather than the individual concerned.

| I'm not saying the players should be dropped but it's important other squad members get some game time incase of an injury crisis, and with the reserve season not started yet, next week is the perfect opportuinity

We beat Rovers in richard hornes testimonial without Berro, and Berro came straight back in. Point proven it's exactly the same

It's not about dropping him, it's about the conversation Agar has with him. Lets be honest here, Hally knew when he came into the team on the wing it was for a short period of time to cover Calders injury. FWIW its irrelevant anyway as Calders wont be back for Celtic.
If Agar has the correct conversation then Hally will take being replaced (not dropped) ok. Agar is going to have a challenge this year keeping all of the backup players happy anyway.

Indeed. I dont buy the 'team stays the same if we're winning' arguement so i dont think it is as simple as Baldy is making out.
I prefer the approach highlighted by the Berro call 'play my strongest team' approach.

The point though is that Berro came back immediately because he strengthened the team. Calders is the same situation in our opinion, obviously not in yours.

Simple to me.....teams winning and team is settled......lets go back to the last 2 seasons and chop and change things.
If you want to make it stronger...Calderwood in and Hall to centre then.

He may well strengthen the team but he shouldnt come back as we are winning and playing well......Dont forget,Calderwood has his faults.
