yeah id think so to be honest, i think tuscon and ainscough are back too so will be interesting to see where they go, having paddy back on the wing will be a plus for sure

I think Amos is fit but he does experience some soreness / stiffness or did. He was still very good in the early exchanges v Leeds.

Why drop Pryce? Because he showed little desire to carry the ball back from kick returns, ambling forward like he was playing with little kids in the park, rather than in a vital game for a team that pays his wages.
For a big bloke he shows little pace.

At the present time Goulding and Pat on the wings with Amos at FB seems our best back 3. I just hope Gleeson finds his form, pre disciplinary issue.

I was going to say, I think Goulding should get his place back if fit, which I assume he will be. It seems like Phelps isn't trying as well as others during training or else he'd have a shout also. Looks like KP has taken his chance well by all accounts. He just needs to bloody run faster at a defender!

If Goulding is fit then he should be back in the starting line up as he has done everything asked of him so far.

If Amos is fit and hasn't suffered from last week's game; then he should move to fullback - as long as it is the plan to play him there for the rest of the season.

Pat should then move back outside Carmont.

I really don't get why we keep playing pryce he seems to have no motivation he gets the ball then waits for the other side to come to him!

Pryce should defiantly be dropped he puts no effort or determination into his play and was often out of position against Leeds only his team mates and some luck saved him from being totally embarrassed.

If fit Goulding should come back into the team. He suffered under the Noble regime but has come back much better under Maguire. He took his chance well scoring bags of tries in his first few games but also he showed much improvement in his defence and is a lot more confident under the high ball. Goulding might not be scoring as much but he was still playing well.
