I'd agree that Croft deserves to be in the starting line up after his sublime performances in the 7's. Although, i'd prefer to see Burke at 10 just to add a bit more experience and control over his backline. I rate Humphrey's very highly as a talented No.10, but i feel we should be bringing him into games as a sub in the last 20 mins, just to get him game time and break him into the starting squad.

Can't wait for the start of the season now guys!!! :P

Burke is just a clone of Goode but smaller, he plays exactly the same way, no cutting edge, outstanding with the boot.

I would like to see, Matt Smith get a run, impressive in the 7s and outstanding for the developement side last year, I would like to see him have a run out with Gibbo

[Mountsorrel Tiger]

I'd go with

1) Moreno
2) Chuter
3) Castrogiovanni
4) Deacon
5) Kay
6) Jennings
7) Moody
8) Corry
9) Ellis
10) Goode
11) Varndell
12) Gibson
13) Cornwall
14) Rabeni
15) Murphy

16) Holford, 17) Buckland, 18) Croft, 19) Crane, 20) Beamund, 21) Vesty, 22) Hipkiss

[SilensFatuus]

I agree Mountsorrel Tiger apart from Varndell.
*cue lynching*

[simon redshaw]

Is Ollie available and ready to go? If he was, I would have him in the starting team ahead of Seru as the latter is not entirely match fit, and Ollie deserves to be in anyway.

I agree with the teams suggested apart from George in preference for Cabbage and would have Andy to start as suggested by Mountsorrel. Are we to assume that Wiggy is not going to be around to play at the start of the season? I know it has been suggested he is going part-time but for what sort of games would he be available?

[DTM]

Would Whitey not make the front row?

[Chobbsy]

He would be there for me

[dailywaffle]

I think White polarises opinions. An occasionally devastating scrummager, it has to be said that he is also an inconsistent scrummager.

Discipline is a concern, as is his lack of presence around the park.

I'd certainly like to see what the new guys have to offer.

[Chobbsy]

Julian had 1 yellow and 1 red card last season, if I am correct

[dailywaffle]

And how many penalties ? Seemed like a lot, particularly when arriving (late ?) at the breakdown.

Or maybe that is just the impression that I get.
