who said that ?? no one at FC mate

well you would think thats hows hes going to go by giving fitzy the 13 shirt, anyway westy will most probs play the season at 6

If a agar stays with the same system westerman would be better suited to second row, to stop disruption to the side the turner and nicklas to play 6.



I don't like the idea of moving 3 or 4 players around for one player missing.

well assuming fitzy plays at 13 which looks very likely then cant see westy getting much game time, obviously fitzy plays the the full 80 mins as does tickle and then you have manu who can play 55-60 mins a game with lauaki coming on for him.

I can see Lauaki playing prop more than Dowes does, unless we have injuries.

Think props might look like O'meley, Radford, Moa, Lauaki

Think Backrow will be Tickle, Westerman, Fitzgibbon, Manu

judging from squad numbers.

We may play 3 props with fitzy rotating in with them.



And 4 rotating 2nd rows.

This is definitely the way to go. The last thing we want is to bring Turner in to centre so we can move Whiting to FB, so Tansey can then go into the halves. Just stick Turner or Nicklas straight in.



If one comes out one comes in. Simple.

And Washy(a 13) rotating 13 & 9!

Tansey - Briscoe

Sharp - Lyne

Whiting - Turner

Yeaman - Turner

Briscoe - Lyne

Horne - Turner/Nicklas

Long - Moore



Easy!

Turner hasn't impressed at stand off in the few games he has started/finished up there. Nicklas would be a better choice.

He was very good their against Cas at Home. Think that was our highest points tally in a game last year, with Horne at 7 to boot!
