You should never play your touch and go player on the bench. If a BR player gets injured in minute one then Thompson has to play 79! You do it the other way round imo

Come on Mark,that BR is so slow you could paint them! Has Murphy lost the plot? I could understand it v Sarries but Wuss? Wheres the pace to cover if we are cut open? I really hope I come to rue this post tomorrow but I doubt it!

I’d try to starve Worcester, but Wells and Cole are the only ones capable of disrupting the breakdown 😂 :smt017

I don’t normally respond to Scott but he still doesn’t get it does he.

You claim to be supporter but your first comment is always a negative one.
You may be right that the back row is too slow and there’s is no real jackler but you haven’t asked why is it injuries is it tactical. At the moment we don’t know it could be the right way to go, just as much as it might not be.
I just feel that laying into the selection before a ball has been kicked in anger is wrong, but maybe that is too mature a thought process

To be fair this looks like a selection MOC would have made, picking three big guys in the back row, many complained about it then as a strategy. Looks like a selection hoping for an arm wrestle, I don't think it will be that sort of match.

I've said that if it was Sarries say I could understand it but Wuss?! I'm not going to do a tactical breakdown,havnt the time but think about how Sarries and Wuss play then it should easily answer your question

To be fair I also find selection a little puzzling on a fast pitch but I assume there is a plan.
On the face of it the plan does look to slow it down but maybe there is something else, maybe Gigena or Wells need some extra weight behind them, if they win then fair play!

And if they don’t and part of the reason is the balance of the back row, then is the time for criticism, but give them a chance to play the match first

It could simply be a case of select who's fit. We know BOC and Denton are injured. I'm assuming Evans must be. It's probably too much to ask Thompson to start hence inclusion on the bench. As you say the time for criticism is post match.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!
