Completely torn down the middle with this one like never before to be honest, I really don't know what to expect.

Part of me keeps expecting us turn up and put on a really good performance and get the result.

The other half thinks we may just as easily not turn up and we put on another poor performance and we get turned over again.

Let's hope it's the former.

Early days but the coach needs to start showing what he brings to the party. His record so far isn't encouraging .

Re: London on Good Friday : Tue Mar 30, 2021 8:10 pm  

My main concern for Friday is the form and lack of strength in depth in the backs from 1 -7. It will be good to see how Worthington goes and my preference would be for Rawnsley and Saltonstall on the wings - while Salty probably had his worst game for a long time against Batley I feel he offers more bringing the ball out from the back and is more reliable defensively than Mcgrath. Woodburn-Hall probably be the best bet for the other centre - full-back and the halves pick themselves due to either a lack of cover or unwillingness to change. With the two loanees involved we have a potentially excellent pack with reasonable cover for injuries/lack of form - they need to ensure on Friday the effort is their to turn that potential into reality - if they do I think we've a great chance of getting a win.

just saying what it says on the clubs facebook page somebody asked the same question as you and thats what the club came up with

Re: London on Good Friday : Wed Mar 31, 2021 4:45 pm  

Not a clue which way this one is likely to go. Who wants it most simple as that

Re: London on Good Friday : Wed Mar 31, 2021 9:18 pm  

Kick off is at 5pm.

Mcgrath is too lightweight at the moment. Would bring in McComb in the other centre position and Hewitt or Barber to 4.

Looks like London missing both Sammut and Aston + Curran whose one of the top back-rowers in the division. You really have to credit London. 13- 14 of their lads came through their system. They do an exceptional job.

Agree on Connor we need a bit more size.
Looking at the squad the final 17 would be without both the Davies lads,McGrath and from what SG muted maybe Kav or Paul B missing out if they are still not 100%.

FWIW. My back line would be Grix, Salty, McComb, Barber and Rawthy from who’s available.
