Maybe mix it more up with the likes of Owen, Catchpole, Rhys Williams etc.
What has Thompstone done wrong? I thought he had an excellent game last week.
He is not injured,is he?

Looks like end of Feb at the earliest.
Re: Team V Ulster
I feel we should field our Strongest team possible and would favour this team:
Backs. Tait, Goneva, Manu, Allen, Thompstone, Williams, B Youngs.
Forwards. Ayerza, T Youngs, Mullipola, Parling, Kitchener, Gibson, Salvi and Crane.
Subs. Ghiraldini, Rizzo, Balmain, Croft, Barbieri, Harrison,Burns, Bei.
This could do the job for the Tigers if all the above are fit.

Re: Team V Ulster
Is Allen training ATM ?
Re: Team V Ulster
Noddy, suggest you read the Guardian link before putting Manu in your starting 15

That does sound painful, then so does a series of injections into the bone in the groin area. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about it!Doghashadhisday wrote:You have to careful with the pubis - if you rush it, it might bite back!Spicer wrote:

Re: Team V Ulster
Cockers said in the merc today that he still expects Manu back in 3-4 weeks. We all want him back but it's important he doesn't come back too early and risk aggrevating the injury. If that takes him an extra couple of weeks or a month then that's fine.
Re: Team V Ulster
Hope Gibson features. Don't know why he was not included last week. He does need a rest but with the LV coming up he will get one then.
Also, he is a player we need to convince has a big future here.

Re: Team V Ulster
No team gossip yet,I would think that Owen will start at 10, don't know about the centres, is Ant Allen fit? Plenty of options for the back three if Sculley is back in the frame. The pack will be interesting, who starts at 2?

I think you can forget seeing much more of Gibson this season. Now that the news is out about him moving to Saints, he'll drop in the pecking order so fast, his nose'll bleed!
At least it'll give Croft plenty of chances to get some form back.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Re: Team V Ulster
Don't see why, Ford played for us up to the end as have others. Tigers will use him if needed, probably not this coming weekend but during the LV I'm sure he would figure, winning games is the end game isn't it?loretta wrote:smalldell wrote:Hope Gibson features.
