First thoughts.

Strettle dropped for Sharples - hurrah!
Not many 12s in the Saxons after 36
Dowson - really?

Mark...someone give me money!!!!!!

Just watching the 2nd midweek game in SA, Tom Youngs will be starting England hook within year.....quality

No Armitage again? ridiculous.

No Garvey in either Nick

Don't rate Carl Fearns at all but Jesus is he muscling up in this one.

Why the hell is Clarke in the saxons?

He's Lancasters love child from Leeds

Does this approach not come across as hypocritical and undermine the entire dropping Care fiasco? Especially as Care is a better rugby player in a position with fewer options?

Agree, although it doesn't mean he'll be picked.

I think Clark has something in him to be a v good Int though, we don't have anyone who can match his physicallity

Very physical player. I rate him highly just needs a full season.

I don't care how good he is, he has to show some remorse and at least a year of good behaviour before I want to see him play again. What he did was ABH with intent

I was talking about Fearns. Sorry delayed reply. Clark needs to do the time ad comeback with a change attitude IMO. Yes he's Physical and you could say players like Botha and Burger are similar in mentality. But I don't like players that would go that far in a game.

Ah right, not a Fearns fan myself although playing well here.

Johnny May is absolutely rapid!

What game is going on?

Could be quite a decent little signing for Saints. (Not just because he is my player!)

I was watching 2nd midweek England game.

Good player Waldouck, messed about a bit at Wasps

Don't think we should've conceded so many points in that game considering it was a mismash of players against us.

Yeah I agree, would be good to seem him settle down in their midfield.

Running 7's this week Bathite?

Whoever was looking for scrum halves, don't forget Freddie Michalak at Sharks, though he will probs play 10 next season

Hes off to Toulon next year CJ isnt he? Expect he will play 9 there with Wilko on the books

Ollie's turn on the draft

He's normally on a bit later.

Can I get some opinions on my squad atm?

LH - P James/Pittman/French
HK - Paice/Lindsay/Whitehead
TH - D Wilson/Mercey
LK - POC/Hudson/Swinson
LK - Mumm/Mills
BS - Gibson/Mafi/M Wilson
OS - Brussow/Welch
8 - Easter/Hala'ufia

SH - PienaarP Hodgson/J Hodgson
FH - Evans/Shingler
WG - Ojo/Thompstone/Ajuwa
IC - Shingler/Tonga'uhia/May
OC - Waldlouck/Parker
WG - Jane/Stegmann
FB - Abendanon/Ransom

Midfield needs work, rest looks v strong

I was going to target the midfield next, got a centre in mind already

Any advice?

15- Goode (Wyles, Halfpenny to cover)
14- Halfpenny (S Smith, Wyles, Turner)
13- C Smith (Tomkins, Allen?, Taylor, Wyles, ?Goode?)
12- Allen (Geraghty, Fitzpatrick, Powell, Taylor, Powell, Leonard)
11- Mitchell
10- Hodgson (Geraghty, Leonard, Stanley, Goode)
9- Parra (Wigglesworth, Spencer, Baldwin)
8- Joubert (Wray, York, McCaw, Vyvvan)
7- McCaw (Fraser)
6- Brown (York, Fraser, Wray, McCaw, Hankin, Kruis)
5- Botha (Borthwick, Kruis, Vyvvan, Jubb)
4- Ryan
3- Nieto (Brookes, Du Plessis, Vunipola)
2- Brits (Smit, Allen, Hawkins, Crumpton)
1- Mullan (Vunipola, Saunders, Dickinson, Brookes)

Strong throughout mate. TH & 10 prob your weakest positions but not bad in the league currently

Backup 13 maybe a bigger priority. Good team just lacks some depth.

Injuries will be interesting

Hodgson and Nieto weaknesses? I'd completely disagree, think both are top prem players. Hodgson second only to Evans in the prem and Nieto a fearsome scrummager, which is want you want from your TH

I think everyone struggles for depth really

Did I say a weakness?

I said they were his weakest positions but not weak for this league currently.

splitting hairs there, can't be arsed to argue. I think Mullan would be the weakest link, Brown and Mitchell struggling after long injuries, but both class

I'm not arguing, I just said there were his weakest positions. Never said there were weak players.

Before jumping down my neck try actually reading the post.

You're exhausting! This place is meant to be fun, jesus.

Disagreeing with you is hardly jumping down your neck

Your not disagreeing, you're making things up. You stated I said Hodgson & Nieto were weaknesses....I didn't.

It's like having a wife....

What in the way you fail to say you're wrong?

Everybody has different opinions but don't put words in my mouth thanks

In that I don't see how this is even an issue and don't understand why this is an argument?

If you're that worried then people can read with their own eyes what has been written.

You thought 10 and 3 were his weakest positions, I disagree, I think Mullan is. People don't have to agree with you

Again, meant to be fun.

In rugby news.....

SBW rumours confirmed

I care little about your opinion.

"Hodgson and Nieto weaknesses? I'd completely disagree"

I didn't say that.

Very mature

I must be stupid, I read that 10 and 3 are the weakest positions. Hodgson and Nieto play there, so thought that meant they must be the weakest players in the 15. I must be confused

I never said they were weak players which is what you insinuated.

My opinion is that they are the 2 weakest positions in his team, total option.

You then came back and said you disagreed and they Hodgson & Nieto were not weak players.....I NEVER SAID THEY WERE

Does it really matter? Weak / weaker / weakest

Really don't see why this has wound you up so much

If I said they were weak that would mean I think they're poor players surely?

Brussow, Pocock, McCaw......I think Brussow is the weakest OS from that trio.

Can you see my point?

I can see your point, just cant understand your reaction, seems completely unnecessary

Your reaction was as bad, let's leave it. We obviously wins each other up

'can't be arsed to argue' was my original point and I left it at that, not wound up at all. it was your rant that followed that surprised me, over something so minor!

Let's leave it

SBW actually gone to Japan then League........discuss, thoughts?
