Wow! could this be new half time challenge? - Walking Stick Duels Noddy v Bill W (2). The Big Boot has lost it's shine - is past it's best.
Even Noddy with all his contacts did not realise the Munster match is on Sunday from the OP.
You will, if youd study the forum, discover that Bill W declared at 20000 posts and became Bill W (2). [/quote]
Bill, may I just doff my hat sir at your years of service and dedication. As a mere beginner with a meagre 200 posts, your initial 20,000 posts feels like an incredible achievement, not to mention your subsequent 14,000+.
I'm no sycophant (sp?). Really. But big respect to you sir!

Thanks you for that! It is all good fun and most informative. And my thanks to the Moderators over the years who have kept me in order!
Change only if it is an improvement or a necessity. I can't see us bringing in anyone who is not 100% fit or fit but not battle hardened. I can't see us bringing in burns for example. If Willian's is fit then he must play, if he is not then bell will play. Next week, when we return to the league, that will be the correct time to reintroduce players/rest players. But at home to Munster is a time for continuity and battle hardened players.
Also, Veainu 'J. Rob 2' is my new superhero.
Slater cannot be played at 6 again. He has to play as a lock. If Fitzgerald is injured then Croft or McCaffery will have to play at 6, depending who plays at 8.

Think that is a little harsh on Slater, admittedly he was outpaced once in the wide channel and gave away a particularly silly penalty from the restart, but I thought he had a decent game at 6.
In terms of changes- if Williams is injured I would be tempted to start Bell and keep Freddie on the bench but if Williams is fit he starts IMO! Would be nice to see Leo and Tait on the bench if they are fit, same for Crofty. If Fitz is injured then Ed and Kitch would be at lock IMO with Croft at 6 and Crane/ Pearce on the bench. I would start Betham at 13 if he is fit, but unless the injured guys are back/ there are new injuries I wouldn't expect to see any changes!

Most of his posts have been about any building work we have had...
Wormus, the big boot the 100 metres sprint, a game of tiddlywinks whatever I'd still be better than Bill, incidentally why didn't he change his name to Bill (2000) W if he has posted so many. I may have only joined the Forum in 2010 but I have been a tigers supporter since 1975.

I heard Bill was Butlin's tiddlywink champion 1967,68,69 & 71 then retired but came back for another two titles in 77 & 78...Do you have that pedigree Noddy?

What about pipe smoking then I bet Bill would kill you at that.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
