Re above Trojan
I agree give Franco a game. In my opinion we should clip the flying pigs wings and put Franco on his wing.

Personally I think Lineham has been solid for a good string of games now. Vs Cas thought it wasn’t great and that right edge of Lino > Lyne > Lineham had a mare. Changes with Dagger and Franco could help but even though I left Lyne in he’s lucky and needs to do better in defence with his decision making. After watching Lyne for years though that’s always been his greatest pitfall in defensive reads and positioning. Now he’s lost that extra yard of pace it’s harder to hide these days.

Lineham made a big error yes and due to that Franco comes in but I won’t hang Lineham out to dry as Lyne and the inside defenders were more to blame with Miller engaging them leaving a lot of space exploited on the edge.

I think that right wing was badly let down by the back row on that side. Nobody slides that way in the tries scored. We are struggling without a recognised right edge back rower with Tanginoa out, Proctor can play well there, but 20 minutes a game is no use to us. Does Griffin play on the right, i think he has usually played left side?

Pitts is right edge but I think the errors are between the halfback and centre in defence which is why Cas targeted them constantly.

Tanginoa is originally a left second row. Nearly all his best performances come left second row. His best form was in left SR on arrival and then covering back in left SR when Ashurst was injured.

We stick him at right and tried to play him there because Ashurst if fit will always start and play pending the apocalypse (that is no slight to Ashurst who’s been solid).

I hate to say it, but let's face it, we need a miracle tomorrow.

Sort of correct but not
The problem is happening between the HB and the C but it’s happening partly because the Back Rower isn’t mapping fast enough

Think all of our so called back row is too slow ,it's like we got 5 props on the park Though S L was about speed but this Coach as proved me wrong

Just to be different i’m going for a narrow win. Purely because for me it’s last chance saloon and thats normally when we come up with something unexpected.
