Post by: Raggs on December 08, 2017, 11:28:03 AM: We could do with him! Him and Gaskell look like they could be a really useful pairing. Wonder if Hughes might be on the bench? Probably best not to throw him in too early though.

Post by: Heathen on December 08, 2017, 10:55:10 PM: And it came to pass. Jack Willis on the bench, so maybe Nate back in the frame next week.

Post by: Raggs on December 09, 2017, 06:43:54 AM: I'd hope when Nate is back, he can come straight back in to start.

Another chance for Willis to shine.

Carr is too good to be bench warming or worse.

Perhaps, but if fit (including match fit), Hughes starts at 8.

Post by: Vespula Vulgaris on December 09, 2017, 12:19:46 PM: With Carr and Hughes we suddenly find ourselves in the position we've been in with Simmo and Dobby for a while.

A month ago I'd have laughed at the idea of someone pressuring Hughes for his position, but Carr has been fantastic. If he can keep it up it's gonna be a tough call.

Post by: Raggs on December 09, 2017, 12:48:27 PM: I'd be considering Carr somewhere else in the backrow, 6 or 7.

Post by: Raggs on December 09, 2017, 12:49:46 PM: JCW out with a back issue, Eastmond out with illness. Will Stuart and Watson on the benhc.

Post by: Vespula Vulgaris on December 09, 2017, 01:12:08 PM: Disappointed to see JCW out. That makes a difference.

Post by: Raggs on December 09, 2017, 01:25:22 PM: Certainly does, I'm excited about potentially seeing Will Stuart though, is his inclusion a suggestion he's overtaken PDJ?

Post by: NellyWellyWaspy on December 09, 2017, 02:26:35 PM: PDJ is on the injury list also.

Post by: coddy on December 09, 2017, 04:31:57 PM: Watson on the bench for Eastmond isn't a disaster as I thought it was unusual having two centres in the reserves.
