Quote: jonh "Got me Ellis misses out I think he’s been a little off this season so far.
I think we need to run with 3 secondrow so 1 on the bench along with Leeming and Walters also being able to play prop helps so we only have room for 5 middles.
I’d personally agree with starting Thompson, Cooper and Havard however I’d have Thompson at 13 with Dupree and Mago off the bench along with Nsemba and Leeming.
Hill is the player I feel bad for missing out as I think he’s not put a foot wrong whereas both Ellis and Byrne have been a little out of form.
I think it would be highly beneficial for their development to get Eseh and Hill out on loan preferably to SL clubs as soon as the opportunity presents itself.'"
Agree with all of that.
I thought Ellis started the season reasonably well but recently he’s not having the same impact on the game.
Not sure if Byrne was playing to instructions but I was very disappointed with his performance against Catalan. I’m a Byrne fan and was expecting a lot more from him after his absence due to suspension.
