Sorry I just seen it's half back. All I can say about that is he can't do less than his predecessor.

Geeeeeeez this could be tough to watch or a master class.

At least Hodkinson won't feel so bad being replaced by Sione. Imagine if Josh Starling took your place.

Brown has lost the plot

Captain and in the halves? Hopefully he performs but I'm not sure

Sione gets moved around more than gids did

 

[88Knight4life]

Haha,

Our backrow has a huge mountain to climb,
Yates 180cm 94kg vs cooper 197cm 108kg miss match much lol
Stone vs Hess = smarts v power
Barnett vs Teaumalolo do i need to say anything?

Our halves stick to different sides of the ruck, sione will still be on the left and lamb on the right.
And Sione won't be feeding the scrum.

I think yates might play in the middle and barnett moves back out wide. Hopefully.

 

[Kurriboy]

Just wait until we sub Feeney in once the forwards are tired to take the game by the scruff of the neck. <do we have a sarcasm emoticon>

 

[Left Foot]

Sione just needs to run hard and tackle hard.
Leave the long kicking to Lamb.

 

[slotmachine]

Only problem is the cows are going to tee off on lamb knowing he's the only option.

 

[Kurriboy]

Hes been the only option all year pretty much, no different.

 

[Wagyu Patty]

Lets hope Sione is only there to do a job for the first 20 and then Feeney comes on once the sting is taken out

The biggest problem I see with Sione at halfback is that Lamb doesn't have a kicking game either.

 

[Kurriboy]

Holy crap. Rissdog has g9ne all maddog.

Lolo drags four knights 10 metres

Maybe the cows will keep bombing tries for the next 75 minutes.

 

[cowboyman]

[Kurriboy]
