Reffell off the bench Vs Chiefs I reckon. Last season in our second win over them we went for a big backrow with Liebenburg at 7. Martin, Cracknell and Liebenburg and look to do a number on them up front.

So, aside from the internationals, only Kelly, Simmons, Green and Richardson from the Senior Squad haven’t had a run out.

It’s not happeningTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:56 amI suspect they want it on the Thursday/Friday at WR so they are probably having a game with Nottingham behind closed doors, but doing that unofficially now. Which gives them more flexibility etc as to what to do ability to try combinations. Maybe play x3 40min segments with different teams in each etc etc.

Richardson playing both friendlies for Nottingham, so unlikely to feature anytime before the PRC I think.RunTigerRun wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:11 pm So, aside from the internationals, only Kelly, Simmons, Green and Richardson from the Senior Squad haven’t had a run out.

I’ve seen Green in training photos too so just Simmons and Kelly that are more unexplained. Kelly I assume is still recovering, Simmons is an odd one after being seen a lot in the early days. You’d assume he wouldn’t go on loan after just re-signing - but stranger things have happened! Hopefully see him get some game time in the early PRC games !

Genge stated that Green was injured after the final. Whilst I've seen him in training I don't know if they're monitoring him/keeping him on a lighter workload atm so he's ready.RunTigerRun wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 10:04 amGranted Charlie, I noticed that after I posted!Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 12:15 amRichardson playing both friendlies for Nottingham, so unlikely to feature anytime before the PRC I think.RunTigerRun wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 9:11 pm So, aside from the internationals, only Kelly, Simmons, Green and Richardson from the Senior Squad haven’t had a run out.

Simmons likely may have a knock otherwise he'd be getting some gametime IMO
Kelly likely is not yet match fit. I trust the medical staff but at a guess he'll be back in a month or so... that may have the bonus for us (not him) of not being picked in the AI's
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I think there's probably an element of really not rushing Kelly back after his breakdown in the semi.
