Assuming no injuries from last night and with Paea back and possibly Carvell & Bowden fit too, who do we move out?

Paea has to come back, complete no brainer, possibly replacing Hadley and pushing Thompson out to 2nd row? Or straight in for Pitts?

Carvell comes in for me if 100% fit! Maybe not Bowden though, which is probably a bit harsh!



Shaul

Colbon

Crooks

Yeaman

Talanoa

Horne

Miller

Paea

Houghton

Watts

Thompson

Tuson

Westerman



Heremaia

Carvell/Bowden/Pitts (dependant on fitness)

Feka

Whiting



Not sure who misses out the week after when Ellis comes back! Probably Whiting.

I know we did quite well against them yesterday but I think we still need to be fielding a full team of 17

Can't believe I forgot the bin man!

You missed Talanoa out on the wing there





Great to have such a conundrum and harsh on whoever gets left out in the pack. Paea a must return for me as he's been great so far and deserves to be recalled straight away. I think that Pitts will make way if Carvell or Bowden prove their fitness. Both played well prior to injury so I think Watts may also have to watch his back. Not that he's done anything wrong. As I say, harsh on anyone that misses out.



Not sure about the week after either. Can't quite believe that Whiting could be a contender for missing out but it will be him, Thompson or maybe even Tuson that misses out for me. Again, harsh.

I'd drop pitts and hadley and bring back paea and whichever of carvell or bowden is the fittest. bowden was excellent before his injury and probably deserves his place more than carvell TBH plus he can play more minutes

A lot will depend on what Mr Noble does to counteract our game plan we used to good effect yesterday.

Their game plan will probably depend on whether Rangi Chase decides to turn up. So glad we didn't sign him as he's so inconsistent. Either bang average or outstanding. Nothing in-between.

Just got to look at Chase's old team and their performances this year and his new team!

Pick our strongest 17 available.

Whiting for paea is the only change I make. Thompson in back row. Give Bowden and carvell another week. Hadley does not deserve to be dropped.

Paea and Carvell in for Pitts and Hadley.



Any changes subject to disciplinary charges, of course.

Can't see Miller getting away with attacking Morley with his head to be fair. Looking at 3games minimum I'd guess!!
