Bit of a concern when our halves have a combined total of four try assists all season.

Grix did hint Lane was going to play a different position in his pre game interview .

The player to watch today is fullback Josh Rourke that London signed from Whitehaven i believe, hes looked very good the few times I've seen him, joins the line very well. And scores tries too.

Why does Lane get the nod over Balmforth at 9?

I reckon Balmforth is better off the bench so he can exploit tiring defences. Personally I'd rather have Carlos or Chamberlain at 6 and keep Smith/Balmforth hooking.

Re: London calling : Sat Aug 17, 2024 12:28 pm  

Walker, Barron, Tuimavave, Briscoe, Martin, Charles, Smith, Ese'ese, Lane, Sao, Chamberlain, Cartwright, Aydin

Balmforth, Eseh, Fash, Jebson

Think we will play a simple game plan. So going up the middle. Plus After 15 min Balmforth blowing out his Arris so will be better of the bench.

Ashworth not fit then despite being in the squad. bench is pretty weak

Re: London calling : Sat Aug 17, 2024 1:09 pm  

Utterly bizarre team selection.
The simple move would've been
Chamberlain to 3
Tuimavave to 6
Charles to 7
Smith to 9.

Because he can tackle. They will bring Balmforth on later in game
