Perfect opportunity to see what Hookem and Balmforth can do, particularly with some big decisions contract wise coming up.

I expect only Hookem to play though.

I'd like to see Barron - maybe give McIntosh a rest

I don't think we can risk too many kids.

We have a week off next, plenty of time for resting players

3 kids out of a match day squad of 17 is fine. It's when you have to play 8 or 9 at the same time that it can be bad. Around 14 other high quality players would be fine.

Litten
Barron
Carlos
Wynne
Shaul
Connor
Lovodua
Sao
Mint
Evans
Ma'u
Lane
Brown

Satae
Taylor
Balmforth
Fash

That would be good to see IMO

Completely agree. We've already got 9 unavailable, need the best we have out there

Connor won’t be moved to stand-off.
More likely to play Houghton at scrum half, he has recently.

Re: Toulose next : Thu Apr 28, 2022 1:21 pm  

Think it’ll be
Connor
Barron
Carlos
Wynne
Lovodua
Houghton
Soa
Johnstone
Satae
Mau
Lane
Fash

Brown
Taylor
Evans
Hookem
Move Hookem into the halves when, hopefully we’re in a commanding lead. The pack should be far too strong.

Re: Toulose next : Thu Apr 28, 2022 2:21 pm  

Just hookem to half back for me,just noticed gigot is 5th in try assists so they could have the edge at halfback so we really need the forwards to get on top . Hope it's not one of those frustrating games then we tend to produce every so often and especially with it being kid for a quid so could be a decent crowd

Re: Toulose next : Thu Apr 28, 2022 3:08 pm  

Unless injured play your best team. Why give 3 weeks off when we have a bit of momentum going. We need to keep going.

Agreed, after Saturday we only have two games in five weeks so they'll all have plenty of rest next month. We should field the strongest team available against Toulouse.
