When Rob plays they normally bring Pats inside and that will free up one of the other lads for a games rest.

I think the team will be drained after the effort they put in and I am sure that some will be rested and the others in the squad will definitely be used over the next couple of games.

i personally prefer haley at centre than pats i think he uses his winger better.

To be honest, I thought it was Dwayne's best game for us yet yesterday and certainly cannot drop after that to be honest.

Barker will have a good run in the first team while Govin is injured anyway. So it's Barkers' place to lose for now. Whether he comes off the bench or starting.

I don't think you can say anyone will be 'dropped' after this game.

They will be 'rested' which in this case, will be exactly that.

Every player was outstanding and did their bit to make it such a memorable match.

I think they mean 'rested' anyway. I don't think anyone is meaning dropped because of performance.

Obviously we can't afford to take our foot off the accelerator for the next 2 games, but they are very winnable. We should be looking at resting any players carrying knocks.

If we keep free of further injuries it will be very interesting when Goddard returns to fitness. It's going to be difficult finding room for a player whose form guaranteed him a starting place last year.

i know what you mean but goddard is best centre outside SL and has got to have a place imo

You can't see Shad or Dwayne being moved to the wings, so you would have to shift one of them to the back row or the bench. Who makes way then? Larder/Smith/Roberts. Hmmmm

simply hes too much of a risk to play in big games. he drops the ball too much and gets dragged in to touch way too often.
he be ok to play against eagles and clubs of that level but no doubt gibbo will get past him for a try

I've said just that all season. He's already gotten better though and will continue to.
