This whole bash green thing is getting monotonous. Hes been pretty good for a while now.
Bowden had been decent for the previous weeks also.
watts n taylor do big mins. Around that we'll do fine with ellis bowden green,possibly feka and even thompson imo.Not sure on how BTW been going?

Think we've struggled to get BTW a meaningful game, he played for Oxford last weekend, scored a try too!

Watts
Taylor
Ellis
Green
Bowden
BTW

These already signed up for next year, possibly add Feka and it's certainly not the worst to be going in with.

Wonder if Paea's move could be scuppered now Stone has been sacked by Newcastle . Knights looking at a big clear out for next season but some players still have deals to run for longer .

It would be an absolute waste of a wide running second row to play him at prop.

Possibly, but it may mean less game time and a longer career if he gets spelled on the front row.

I know we're looking at next season, but anyone else think the starting props shouldn't be Watts and Paea and one of those should be interchange with Bowden or Green starting instead?

No coincedence that we are often a lot weaker and lose a lot of our go forward when Watts and Paea go off and are replaced with Bowden and Green? Maybe this could be offset with playing Green or Bowden from the offset and bringing one of Watts or Talyor on but Radford doesnt seem to want to play this way

Absolutely. It seems so obvious.

I actually thought bowden looked good on Thursday before his injury. He put in a great run shortly before it (May even have been injured getting tackled from that run). Seems to be picking up a lot of injuries though. green is OK in what he does but he doesn't do enough of it. He needs to be playing more minutes and putting more into games. As it stand, paea and watts do about 60% of the graft and the other 3 do the other 40%

There's 160 minutes of prop in a game. Watts, Taylor & Ellis could do that themselves tbh.
