Would be surprised if we picked a weakened team for a home game.

I don't think that's been a hard and fast rule though. More that they try to have the players who couldn't train midweek on the bench in positions of strength. With availability last season largely being very good we were in a position to do so. With availability at the moment being less good I doubt we will roll the dice in a home game after last weekends pumping.LE18 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 10:40 amNot sure about that, I thought that if they hadn't trained with us during the week, he would not select them, so expect a weakened team?
1.Cronin 2.Montoya 3.Cole 4.Chessum 5.Green 6.Martin 7.Reffell 8.Wiese
9.JvP 10.Burns 11.Potter 12.Cokanasiga 13.Scott 14.Watson 15.Steward
16.Clare 17.Leatigaga 18.Heyes 19.Wells 20.Cracknell 21.Youngs 22.Gopperth 23.Nadolo
Presuming no Pollard, Kelly or Porter I'd go with that I think. If Hanro is fit I'd start him at 8 with Wiese on the bench.

It was more of a bonding session and Steward and JVP were golfing at the Belfry yesterday. If they are fit I would expect them all to be part of the match day 23 along with Wiese and MontoyaABClub wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 11:28 amI don't think that's been a hard and fast rule though.

So presumably Ollie Chessum got injured whilst training with England! If that’s true then another player is broken by England. Just our luck as Sale are hard enough to beat without all our injury woes.
Come on you Tigers’ fans get down to Welford Road and cheer them on.
No excuses!!!

The way I read it was he turned up at the England event on crutches so may well have been a result of the Sarries game.Ian Cant wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 9:57 pm So presumably Ollie Chessum got injured whilst training with England!

The England thing was more of a get together don’t think there were any physical drills, unless you count Thorpe Park water park, more skills and fitness tests

Is Scott fit? He’s not played the last couple of weeks and without Moroni we need his defensive abilities as much as anything else.

Good side, although I'm a bit surprised that Wiigglesworth is starting.
Wish I could be there!

No replacement 10 again. I presume JG goes to 10 if Freddie comes off?
