| Trojan Horse:
I would still be looking to bring a half back in on Loan.
Someone like Sinfield, Farrimond or even Whitby who kicked us to death this week.
Jowitt would be back to 1 but I would really like to see Roarke on the wing and using his aerial ability to our advantage.
It’s most likely Jowitt will be at 6 and that will offer improved options but Jowitt just offers so much out the back.
Either way whatever we go with I want to see us win these next 3 games. Forwards really need to step up too. I thought that first half vs saints was the first time I have seen our forwards get dominated. It’s rare and I can’t see them not wanting to put that right.
That said
When we get a half back back and Jowitt ,would like to see Rourke given a run in the and put Scott on the bench . |

We looked dead and buried at half time, with not a chance of scoring a point. Infact we looked like a Trinity side of years gone by. Awful completion and discipline and really poor game management and kicking game. We failed to build any pressure at all and gave away really soft tries, especially the drop out one. We made Sironen look like a prime Ali lauitiiti.
Second half as soon as Cozza came on we changed. Our intensity and attitude looked miles better and scored by far the best tries. At 75 minutes our intensity and line speed looked better than at 10 minutes with St’s looking knackered. Cozza needs to start for me next week, his attacking link up play and defence is really really impressive.
There were 2/3 incidents last night where surely a yellow card should have been shown. The Batchelor one was borderline but the Knowles one surely was. Also when Cozza put Atoni through it also looked like a shoulder to the head.
Good assessment PB.Cozza has defo stepped up and improved over time, good to see him going well. Not having a bash here, but I still think there is that mindset with refs re the "bigger teams" - seeming to get more favourable decisions still...... |

Agree completely with Cozza's performance, but for me that's a good reason to bring him off the bench again. For me, you don't need to start players just because they're playing well - sometimes they're most effective off the bench. Atoni is a case in point; he was very ordinary in his first spell at 13, and lacked the intensity in defence that Pitts always starts with. Atoni, however, is so destructive off the bench once the opposition has been softened up. Play to your squad's strengths, not just their form.
Pitts wasn't good at 6, but we also missed him at 13. There's a bit of talk above about Max not being a 6, but he genuinely is - played loads there as a youth, in our reserves, and much of last season there. He's a great organiser, good kicker, and his pass selection will be just as effective there as at full back. Rourke has never played there, not even amateur.
If Max is fit, Thursday's team picks itself: Rourke, Johnstone, Pratt, Scott or Hall, Walmsley, Jowitt, Lino, McMeeken, Hood, Uele, Vagana, Nikotemo, Pitts; Smith, Rodwell, Atoni, Cozza.
