Agree with you but it just seems strange that the first 13 names are more than likley going to be our starting 13 , and in the right positions

Just had a look on the website and i agree with you.
Looks like lee will be used in the backrow with washy not playing.

Lee offer better options off the bench than Houghton.

considering weve 8 players missing, still not a bad squad (motu, whiting, byrne, raynor, washy, luauki, moa, crocker )

I'd like to see two props on the bench against Catalan as they have a very big physical pack. If Kingy isn't right it would be good to see what Maloney can do before Moa and Luaiki arrive

Imo we Could do with another front row forward against a big powerful Catalan pack,so i would like to see Maloney get his chance.

Agreed. Catalans are huge, we cannot go in with one prop off the bench IMO, unless we actually intend using radders there and Lee at 13???

Are they as huge with Ryles, Carlaw, Fakir (off) and Raguin missing?

I'd like to see Maloney given his chnace, i honestly think he'll do well for us.

Or put Tickle 13 and bring Manu in from the bench.Use Lee as one of the subs.
