come on then lets haveit cheer yourselves up and pick a team for both friday and monday

[graham6]

do i smell is nobody playing out, has the dummy been thrown from the pram whats up with you all

[m brooksy]

Heaton
Lucas
Brocky
St Hilaire
Robinson
Roden
Diveney/Forber
Boults
Clough
Ellison
Noone
Wood
Clarke

Whitmore
Stenchion
Sutton
Bentley

Personally I'd keep Diveney in over Forber as Mick is progressing every week and in my opinion has outperformed Roden this year but I think TB will go for Carl, there would have been no point buying him if we aren't going to play him. I can't see St Hilaire being able to play both games in only three days so I'd bring Fogarty in for one of the games.

Here goes.....


Heaton
Lucas
St Hilaire
Brocky
Robinson
N. Roden
Diveney
Boults
Clough
Sutton
Clarke
Wood
Noone


Stenchion
Ellison
Bentley/Isherwood
Forber

I would go with the above which is slightly different from Brooksy's. I'd move the centres round as I think Junior is a Right Centre and Brocky is good on either. I'd also go for Clarky on the right and Ben Wood on the left in the second row as, once again, I believe that is their natural side and then I'd put Noone at Loose where I beleive he would be able to get more involved and the team would be better for it. I'd then go with Diveney and Ratty at half back with Forber on the bench instead of Whitty. That way TB gets to see all three half backs and Ratty and Forber can play Hooker. TB can then decide who to start with at Half Back on the Monday at 'Haven. I'd then bring back Whitty or Dogger on the bench as replacement Hooker. I agree with Brooksy on the Junior comment and would also bring in Fogarty on the Monday. The above of course is always assuming there are no injuries which force changes. The only name I'm not sure about would be whether to have Isherwood or Bentley on the bench. A good problem to have though eh?

Diveney has improved a lot since the start of the season but to say he has outperformed Roden would be wrong IMO. Most of his great work comes off the back of Rodens organisation, once again this season we've shown we can't cope without him. Hopefully Forber provides us with the cover we need.

For Mondays game against Haven we seem to have a few more injury difficulties. Isherwood looked in severe pain with his arm/shoulder and I can't see him playing. I would make a straight swap with Wood in the second row. The two centres also had some problems with injury,Fogarty seeming the most serious as he has had to come off two games in a row due to a chest injury. Heaton looked fit to play warming up on Friday so I would move him into the full back position and move Brocky to right centre where he looks much more comfortable.

Hopefully the rest of the pack are capable of playing two games in three days because they were all superb.
