    I think you have misunderstood. I don't think that anyone is suggesting that Richardson should play instead of Coote.

    Of course Coote should play. The problem is, he won't have been practicing goal kicking for weeks. I don't think it is ridiculous to suggest that we should pick a fully fit, well practiced and recognised goal kicker. Both Coote and Richardson should play, with Fages on the bench.

    And I don't think that people should just dismiss the idea of "a couple more conversions". In a tight game, they could be the difference.

    I think our best, most proven combination is worth far more points than having Richardson kicking a couple more goals than someone else might

    I don't think anyone has suggested leaving Coote out have they? They're talking about including both Coote and Richardson. Personally I'd sacrifice the goal kicking and stick with the 1, 6 and 7 of Coote, Lomax and Fages we've used for most of the season, rather than bump Fages to the bench (or leave out altogether) to squeeze Richardson in the starting line up

    No Richardson tonight and Percival goal kicking in the warm up so I guess that goes some way to telling us what next week's team will look like

    Coote will be ok next week. Richardson won’t play at Wembley. We will score plenty trys at Wembley and our goal kicker won’t matter.

    Second half, Bentley to 9, bring on some big men, results in the bag. Smith is a good young player but i question him at this level.

    Fake news.

    Literally no one has suggested this.

    There may be a case for asking Percy to kick next week if he fancies it. Struck it beautifully

    He’s changed his kicking technique. His run up used to be 90 degrees to the ball and he’d wrap his foot round it like a Beckham free kick. Used to put a lot of bend on his kicks and made it very difficult to convert from out wide. New technique is a lot more conventional, gets less bend on the flight and looks very effective. If he can kick like that next week as well I’d leave it with him.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    So disrupt our halves and put Lomax at F/B , no way If Coote is not fit Welsby will be F/B . Either way I doubt DR will even be on the bench . Last night showed we have a good gk in Percy .
