I would go

1 Riles

3 Gleeson
4 King
5 Penny
6 Briers
7 Bridge
8 Moz
9 Higham
10 Rah
11 Westwood
12 Johnson
13 Anderson

14 P Wood
15 Carvell
16 Blythe
17 Monos

Any problems with Penny Move Johnson to centre and King on wing, and have Monos replacement for half backs/hooker

Personally id have Monaghan as starting hooker, Higham on the bench ready to come on when the opposing forwards have tired.

Louis at second row instead of Johnson.

Vinnie at loose.

Wood, Carvell, Johnson and Higham bench.

Why bother changing Higham at all? He was our best player and lasted the full 80.

I think Higham faded after 60, just like all of our pack really.

I'd prefer him to operate in periods where he can cause carnage ie, late on in the first and second halfs.

Most of the pack faded bevause we had no sustained possession, particularly in good field position.

I have no doubts Higham could easily play the full 80 minutes.

This for me would of been the ideal time to bring Bridge on at 6 and move Monas to hooker. He was poor at 7(discussed to death elsewhere) and would've livened the halfs up.

I don't think Bridge is quite ready for a start yet so I'd go with what started against Saints with Gleeson and V.Anderson back if ready.

Totally agree, no reason he can't play the full 80.

Ive heard on the grapevine that Vinnie should be fit to play barring any last minute slip ups

Great news cos I think we missed a fully fit Vinnie against saints.

If Vinnie wants to stay at our club beyond 2009, especially with Fraser here next year, he needs to get fit & start performing I think.
