Our top meter maker yet doesn't run enough (backs, Tautai only one above him) and powerful enough from dummy half....

Paul SYKES / Reece LYNE

Harry SIEJKA

Riley did 6 runs from DH in one game, Lyne has done 16 in 4 games. That's stats for you!

Sykes out for me. Way, way too slow. The young speed merchants of London will cut through like a hot knife through butter.

Collis & Sykes in the centres. Molloy at loose. Riley over Lyne on the wing every time.

Sykes will be the one to miss out as for Siejka I would not break the Godinet-Sammut partnership as it looked good and the box of tricks both of them had was too much for Catalans.It looks very good after so short a time together and I think would be outstanding once they have a fair few games to blend and Siejka would have to be outstanding to break it up and would have to wait his time imho.

So are we!

100% agree with this and team should be a lot stronger than previous week.

I dont quite get that point ?



Lynne has had the most runs from DH this season out of every player apart from Mcshane obviously, He also has the most tackle busts, largest average gain, so yes thats stats for you !



He just needs to cut the silly errors.

In our last two games that's exactly what he has done well!

For me Molloy did enough last Sunday to retain his place on the bench, I would play Danny Germund at 13 with Ali and Ryan in the second row ( by choice I would have Walshaw or Trout but they are not in squad ), I would start with TT and Scruton. So my bench would be Wildie, Anderson, Smith and Molloy.

Am I correct in saying that when Washbrook went off Germund went to 13. We have a big strong pack that need to smash it up the middle and really get on top. Play it very safe and only hand that ball over on their line. Tough one re Sykes , Lyne or Riley. I would play Riley and Fox on wings, Collis and Sykes in centres. So Lyne ( very unlucky ) Seika to miss out.

Although I expect him to improve, I haven't been overly impressed with Ryan so far.

I'd rather he was on the bench and we started with Molloy
