Squads - Leopards v Fev : Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:20 pm  

Re: Squads - Leopards v Fev : Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:35 pm  

For myself, I’d love to see some of our fringe players get a run
But
I get the feeling that A Lam will put out as strong a team as we can and if he does, I totally get why.
Fev are in turmoil right now, but this is their chance to get focused on the right stuff as a team, and turn over an old foe and the current champs. They will come, all guns blazing, have nothing to lose, and it is at their house. (But it actually isn’t of course )
Ollie Holmes though please.

You raise a valid point
(In other words, you are right)
But in my defence, they are all away game to me

I think we need to go as strong as we can, without taking too much risk on players carrying knocks or niggles. I can see Lam for Dwyer being the only change to the 17 from last week, with McNamara being an interchange 9. Chamberlain or Brand might come in for O'Brien if he needs to rest whatever his niggle is.

Given how the IMG gradings will determine what league we are in, the Challenge Cup might need to be the priority. If we win the cup, then our performance score can only improve. If we don't then we lost 0.25 points as last season's win will not count for anything.

I think we need are strongest team for continuity. The more they play together, the new combinations will work better.

Hoping Lockie plays (though he won’t if not quite ready of course). Would be good to get more minutes on the field with Moylan. I feel they have the makings of a dynamic partnership

Up and at it for breakfast rugby. Taylor Swift in the background as the lads warm up in front of the north stand.
What a way to start the day !

He’s done nothing wrong, but we look slow with Davies at 9

Horrible game, horrible weather. Move on to the next round.
