Who would Leicester choose out of Glasgow and Plymouth? If Glasgow is chosen and Poole get Plymouth, think I'd rather Poole come 3rd, hope to get through QF and face Leicester! But might change my mind yet, depends how we do at Plymouth on Tues. It's all to play for. I'll be surprised if Poole don't find an Aussie zinger to replace Ablitt. Glasgow look solid all round especially at reserve with Hume and Bailey, Bailey massively improved. However Cook isn't the Craig of old and Brennan and Basso in that outstanding on occasions but average next match phase of their careers. Not the strong team they were with Rasmus in it. Leicester have strong home team but need a number 7 and Thompson away form us an achilles heel If Plymouth can get MPT and Hans fit and Gilkes back and keep Guest or even RR for Kennett if he's second in averages would be very strong though carrying a reserve Redcar look massive dangers to me, Edwards is a revelation chipping in paid 6 or 7 up at number 2, and Jenkins strong at reserve. If they click are dangers. Can't decide Monarchs or Scunny 6th place, probably just Monarchs. Certainly lot more interesting than the 6 team borefest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,661 Posted July 17, 2022 Going by the 4 points today seems he’s still not very fit. anyway very impressive performance on the road. A point a never thought we’d get close to but we’ll done to the boys for sticking in and pulling it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarjaent at Edinburgh and even more impressive Connor Bailey at Poole, who is on a 5 point average!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had inkling of a rule that we couldn't pick Glasgow last year. Apparently in Prem even 1st place doesn't get a pick anymore. They just play 4th in SF?
