Re: Team for Sunday? : Thu May 29, 2014 10:13 pm  

I wouldn't pick Addy at 6,we need to create something as we know we can't rely on Gale to create for 80 minutes.Now we "seem" to be a bit stronger in the forwards this week I wouldn't have Olbison anywhere near the 17. Ferguson to start on the bench for me,Pitts and Blythe in second row.Kear at full back,George on the wing, Henry or Foster on other wing(both pinching money at moment) .If Fakir is definately fit do we go with 4 props plus Baldwinson on the bench as well to cover all forward positions apart from hooker

My 17

Kear
George
Purtell
Arundel???
Henry/Foster
Gaskell
Gale
Sidlow
Diskin
Kafusi
Pitts
Blythe
Donaldson

Nas
Fakir
Obrien
Baldwinson/Addy

I've fallen for the often told lie that when players could be back means that they could be back, whereas in reality they're nowhere to be seen. So with that in mind, and ahead of the squad announcement I'd plump for.

Kear
Foster
Purtell
Blythe
George
Gaskell
Gale
Manuokafoa
Diskin
Sidlow
Pitts
Ferguson
Donaldson

O'Brien
Baldwinson
Fakir
Kaufusi

I'm still picking my jaw up over the fact the only player not to miss a tackle against Catalan was Olbison. Foster is in there for his goal kicking tbh, and he was 18th man against Warrington until George dropped out, that seemed to work...

Henry is out because he is Adam Henry. Addy isn't included because today in the T&A he hasn't even considered relegation - really? Well consider it because it's real, pull your finger out.

I like the bit in today's T&A with Addy about the Catalan game

"In spells we looked dangerous"

Really? Did we have 3 or 4 back to back sets in the first half and didn't trouble their line once

We did.

So dangerous they had to use a police dog.

Thing is Roger [as I'm pretty certain you already know], you always have to seek out the positives and, in truth, they were precious few last Saturday. The one certainty is that if players don't believe they can make a tackle, then they won't and if they don't believe they can win, a beating is on the cards.

My main worry is that Danny was only making these comments for the paper, 'cos he has to - and not because he actually believes it, and I find his assertion that 'he's never even thought about relegation' as a bit dubious, 'cos I sure as hell would have.

One very basic truth of RL is that if Franny can't instill some self belief we really are shot before we take the field.

If you play with some heart you will beat Wakey. There is no leader in this side. We are playing one up rugby, really easy to defend against and not playing our players in best positions or even better players who are fit for use. If it gets rid of agar I hope you put a cricket score on us.

No transfer fee needed Bulls. You get an extra supporter for free

No, she's actually already a closet Bulls fans, can't keep it secret. The name ("may-BULL") clearly gives the game away.
