    My feelings on Matthew Smith as Clarkey and his stooge Rogues calls him are well known, however he is now our player and let us hope better than last time.

    There's no way Smith will play if he's not 100% fit. As sad as the fact might be, we have put our entire strategy around him playing at 7. We're not going to put it at risk by picking him when there's a chance he might re-injure himself and be out for another 2 months or possibly longer. If there is any doubt at all he would have been held back another week. He's recovered quickly but it isn't *that* unusual to see people return in 6-8 weeks if its the right kind of break.

    It must be a pie eater thing both Clarke and Farrell and Robinson have all had extensive elocution lessons. That came directly from one of the SKY panel who was also offered the opportunity but declined.

    If Clarke has had elocution lessons his tutor wants sacking. His enunciation is appalling and he speaks at a funereal pace that makes him sound like he has to really think between words to get the next one.

    As daft as it may sound, given he wants to have wingers driving up the first 2-3 tackles Owens is a better shout on the wing than Tommy or Swift purely because of his size. I'd rather see him take the ball out than risk the other two getting smashed, as long as he doesn't drop it.

    And Ryan Giggs' yoga was extra-marital too, his keep fit was trying not to get battered by his missus or brother.

    3. He is an organiser, which we desperately need - to be honest he should be captain as he will lead from the front

    You presume that Wilkin won't continue with kicking duties, and that Wilkin won't be hanging around in centre-field trying to put himself at the heart of every move.

    You always have to spoil the good news.

    No, I would prefer Tommy at full back as he offers much more than Lomax. Right wing? who would you play there, bearing in mind Grace is left sided?

    Sorry I misunderstood your post, I read it as you preferred the set up of Makinson at 1 and Owens on the wing than Lomax at 1 and Makinson on the wing. Is that not what you meant?
