Their preference is to have Brown deep - he'd be giving away 10 cms to English and 6 or 7 to Boyd.
I really doubt that they would play Carlisle forward, and if they do, Adams goes to him, and Morris and Wood shuffle down the line to McCartin and Membrey - which I think is fine.
I'm really excited to see English play.
As for the ruck, Longer gets some hit outs, but he just doesn't get involved around the ground. He hand 0 kicks, 5 handballs last week - and is really just a stoppage to stoppage player. Good opportunity for Boyd and English to have an impact.
Nice post, you've got me feeling more confident.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
