I agree. Why swap Jeffries. He has played pretty well all year.

Sammut will start on the bench as interchange for hooker and/or half back, I assume

Re: good news on the field : Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:00 am  

I wouldn't drop a single bloke simply for the spirit and determination they have shown these past few games. Also I agree that Jeffries has been superb for us this year. Him and the increasingly influential Gale seems to work well as a combination, so I reckon Sammut on the bench.

Where's Scruton? He played for the reserves a good few weeks back
And has been training properly for a long while according to Donno so why isn't he included in the squad? At least an interchange spot would give him a big of game time

Who would you drop?

The team are on an unbeaten run. Why should someone be dropped to make way for a play who wasn't exactly pulling up any trees the last time he was playing?

Well we should have 4 props in the team, the £ scrutes is on kinda justifies why he needs to be on the pitch, can bulls afford financially to be leaving out a player on such a wage? Also he has a year left so let's try and re introduce him into the tea for the sake of next year...if there is 1!

I know what you mean about having 4 props in the team but what financial benefit is there for us playing him as opposed to leaving him out? we have to pay him same regardless. Seems to me keeping a winning run going with players who are going well could potentially attract more walkup fans to games and swell coffers, whereas dropping someone for no reason, potentially disrupting on field performances could have an adverse affect financially.

Team should be picked on merit, imo. Fair enough, there is room for a bit of latitude to be given to youngsters who need the experience and to players returning from injury, but basically - if it ain't broke, don't fix it and right now (playing wise) nothing is broke.

he's a more dangerous runner than Jeffries and I think he has worked better with Gale when he's played.

Not a downer on Jeffries, he's done OK but Sammut is a gamebreaker and we need him on the field against Leeds.

Re: good news on the field : Thu Jul 19, 2012 1:43 pm  

Sammut played very well against wigan and his defence is better than jeffries.
Scruton does not deserve a place because he earns more money -would we drop bateman be cause sibbit earns more?(not factual just changing viewpoint)

Would not drop ainy for crookes or kear against leeds as they may be short of match fitness and as much as id like to think we will have game wrapped up before end of 60mins not usually the case!
