Tommy at 9, Smith at 7. We CANNOT afford to have all three of Lockers, Clubb, and Burgess in the 17.

17 minutes of him would be a damn sight better than 17 minutes from Clubb and Burgess put together.

If Lockers is fit and can be spelled with the other forwards, I would want him in the team, what I don’t want is for him to play based on sentiment given his pending retirement.

I agree regarding sentiment, but as I said above, he has to be a better chioce than either Clubb or Burgess.

I agree that we shouldn't play all three of Lockers, Clubb and G. Burgess. If he's fit to play, Lockers would be on the bench for me. I think Lammy will go with Smithies, Lockers, Flower and Clubb on the bench which means no place for Bourough and Tommy playing the whole game at 9. I'd be tempted to play Bourough to allow us to spell Tommy/cover for an injury to Tommy or Smith but I can't imagine that Lammy will not play Smithies or leave us with jst one prop on the bench. I'd also be looking at Byrne instead of Clubb if he's recovered from whatever has been the problem recently. Let's all hope that Powell is fit for the final should we get there.

We will miss Powell IMO

If lockers is fit and can offer us a good amount of game time, include him.
It’s no good if it’s a 15min cameo, we need our subs in the playoffs and they need to be effective

Whole heartedly agree. Been saying it on other posts.

When did we honestly last get a good amount of game time?
