Right ok, so in that instance then we're probably dropping Kent. Doesn't seem fair, IMO.

tying a noose, anyone else want one?

He was joking





Heremaia had surgery on his neck and will be out for the next couple of months.

I'm borrowing Marfa's. She'll be using it for a few minutes early next week, then I'm having it.

Disagree. If Martin doesn't make it, playing Radford with Whiting filling in at centre is far better than bringing Lyne in IMO.

That's still on the assumption that Nicklas or Lyne will be on the bench. I don't expect either to feature if the squad's fully fit.

Nicklas is starting with Seymour being out. We probably will go with 4 forwards on the bench now.

Bench of Moa, Bowden, Whiting and Kent?

I expect Whiting to start and Pitts be on the bench.

Radders on bench

That's what I'd go with (or start Moa and have Radford on the bench).

I would've thought PG may go with similar interchanges re Radford as the derby. Radford to start 10/15 min spell, 10 mins either side of HT and if not blowing to hard then 10 at the end.
