Would go with that, if Washy is fit would bring him in for Lee and put Whiting for G.Horne, if Berro is fit wouldn't have Houghton on the bench although I like Danny as a player, Harlequins proved it with Chad Randall you can play a hooker for 80 minutes.

Yes but Berro was rubbish on Saturday.



I do agree though that in general we lose a lot of direction and speed when Berro goes off.

All I'm saying is we seem to be going down the Direction of we have to play two hookers and sometimes we bring Berro off for the sake of it.

Oh I agree and have been saying for a while the Danny isn't as good as some are making out on here. He needs time to develop other areas of his game and I think the pressure of first team rugby isn't allowing him to do that. Having Lee and Houghton on the bench is a waste. Id rather use Lee at Hooker IF Berro needs a 10 minute rest and then Lee can also spell the back row.

I suggest you watch the game again, Berigan was very good in the 1st half, he made loads of yards a few half breaks, of which not one was supported. We started to struggle when he went off.



However if he has a knock I would rest him this week, I would bring in Washbrook for him, Whiting for Lee and Thacks for Moa.



This should give us more options in attack.

His passing was shocking. Probably the worst I've seen him play in a Hull shirt.

Berrigan should be fit enough now to do 80 mins in my opinion

Personally think having houghton on the bench is a waste of him as a player and wasting berrigan on the bench. (Personally would send houghton on loan somewhere for plenty of gametime elsewhere)



Berrigan must be fit enough to do the 80 and our team in general look better with him in it as it gives us direction.



Would give dowes and cuasack a break and would give the other 4 props a chance to show us who is better/fitter and play for they're spots.



Would like to see a team like



Hall

Calderwood

Horne

Yeaman

Briscoe

Horne

Thorman

King

Berrigan

Maloney

Tickle

Whiting

Washbrook



Moa

Thackray

Lee

Manu



Give us good balanced team with impact of the bench and hopefully will give certain players more time on pitch to improve match fitness

Time to get controversial....





My team for next week.



Thorman - his kicking game is his best asset and that can still be used from full back.

Calderwood

Yeaman

G.Horne

Briscoe

Hall - needs to be more involved and less exposed

R.Horne

King

Houghton/Berrigan if fit.

Cusack

Tickle

Radford

Lee



Thackray

Manu

Washy

Whiting

oooh controversial!!!!

Give dowes a week off and if Berrigan isnt 100% then Houghton to start.

Houghton is supposed to come on and impact around the ruck but he seems to be doing less of that this season. Without he scoots he is not the same player, I would agree Lee adds more control at the ptb than Danny.
