Agree unfortunately Hodgson isn't brave enough, Andy Last was

Not sure Last dropped Houghton as such. He missed four consecutive games in the October. I can't remember if that was an injury.

He played every other game, although he was mainly used off the bench.

Just watched the trys again and this and following the Rovers game, I'd drip the whole left side of Griffin, Simm and Longstaff. Simm was responsible for 3/4 trys due to an error and one on one misses. Big game from Walker needed as he went from Hero to Zero.

Walker
Martin
Wynne
Mitch
Mcintosh
Hookem
Gale
Satae
Lovodua
Evans
Mau
Lane
Fash

Sao
Taylor
Brown
Houghton

If Taylor and or Satae are out, bring in Longstaff and Laidlaw.

I've not seen any Academy games would you say Martin is in front of Barron now dave for a wing spot?

All this talk of he hasnt got the balls to drop people. What a sac of s hite. He picks who he thinks will do the job. His jobs on the line in the long run so he thinks yea keep playing my Bessies. He might make wrong team selections definitely. He's slowly but surely weeding out the players and moving us in the right direction. It's not a quick fix. Some on here would want a new coach every time we got beat.

I dunno, it would take some balls to pick a player who you think isn't the best choice. Deliberately picking a worse team would be very bold.

If you asked everyone on here to pick a 17 most would be different. He sees what goes on and who in his opinion plays. I honestly believe we are going in the right direction albeit a very bumpy ride. IMO we will get in the top 6 which is an improvement. Nevertheless we are well off a top 4 team ATM.

I've won 2 tickets on the Sky VIP. You guys know where I would usually collect from and if I would be able to sit with the Cas fans?

Sounds promising hopefully he will get a chance this season

Put in an earlier thread, Connor is a slight possibility for Friday. Will probably come too soon for him, Toulouse next week is a more realistic target.

Connor back? Shaul gone to Wakey
