Thanks for that.

Re: First Choice 17 For 2014 : Tue Oct 29, 2013 4:14 pm  

Kearney
George
Henry
Blythe
Kear
Sammut/Gaskell depending on opposition
Gale

Scruton
Diskin
Sidlow
Ferguson
Winterstein
Donaldson

subs
Carvell
Nas
L'Estrange
Bateman (tho in the early part of season Addy may be in better form)

Donaldson Sidlow Diskin start for tackle quality, exchanges are for go forward. one caveat: Henry defence unknown so could be an open door paired with George, tho Wintersteins defence looks better than Whiteheads. At least we have a choice in all positions!

Very few seem to be putting George in there. My only small concern with Kear is that he doesn't have that instant attack about him when he catches the ball. He tends to come inside at the very sight of a winger near him. I think George would be better regarding going straight forward down the wing with his centre. Having said that, Kear works his socks off and gives 100%. It's just my idea of how top wingers catch the ball and are off down the touch line like a whippet - not running sideways. George and Henry would be two big lads and George is quicker than Kear if Henry can fend off a tackler and set him off. I agree with above that we have put together a decent squad though and the fact we are discussing different lineups shows there is now competition for places. I would also hope Franny doesn't work with a list of players running from top to bottom. I hope the young lads will be given a go if they prove they have earned it. All of the squad should be on a level starting point - or am i just wishfull thinking.

Very impressed with Addy tonight, looks strong going forward and great Hands, from this and watching him in SL the last couple of years I think it would be a big mistake him not being in our 17.
