Dropping Smith would be an interesting one..

Richards
Roberts
Bailey
Carmont
Ainscough
Edwards (sorry mean Sam)
Smith
Fielden
Tommy
O Carroll
Hansen
Lockers
Tomkins
------------
Feka
Hock
Riddell
Pryce

Sam looked easily good enough to start and play the 80, defense was up to it, looks very good considering he isn't the biggest.
Ainscough needs to be a 1st team starter, his defense wasn't best for the Gafa try but that'll improve, a few of their tries came down there side, however I'm excited about the growing partnership between him and Carmont.
Smith needs more time with Sam at 6.
Hansen and Lockers to tackle everything that moves in the SR with impact off the bench from Hock and Feka, don't need another prop on the bench with Hock interchange with the other prop.
Pryce to be involved, can play across the backs with power, will be a handful off the bench, big enough to play in the pack if needed.

Agree with the first point. Carmont and Ainy have combined for 3 tries in 2 games which is more than impressive.

Interesting point there about Pyrce, what position in the forwards do you think he could cover?
