Stick with what works. Myler stands way too deep to let Burrell do his thing.

I don't get this obsession for dropping players from a winning team.
Harry has been part of a team that has won 4 games on the bounce and which has secured 19 out of a maximum of 25 league points.
On what basis can anyone here drop any player from the team other than for injury or rotation? (Fly half is hardly a rotation position)
By all means have Francis or Myler on the bench and bring on as needed but don't start dropping players just because you don't think they are the best in that position. After all, for all we know Harry's style might be perfect for Luther!

Totally agree andysaint.
HLTW : I don't mean to be picky but you have contradicted yourself somewhat. You totally agree with not dropping players from a winning team yet as soon as Piers is fit tbe shirt is his no matter what !

Francis has fast hands like Harry and can kick goals. So he can slot in to the existing pattern.
Harry made a fantastic 15's try saving intervention last week. Often at 15 you are a no chance last man - remember Fodes being put on his @#$%& by Goneva last season?
Quote:saintsfella
Fair weather- whilst I remember the incident I object to Foden's defence at fullback being regarded as poor because of is! I remember him being generally excellent in defence, taking man and ball almost every time to stop quick fast offloading which kills teams once the line's been broken.

We are top, after 18 months of constant "apprentice" mentality from both the media and supporters.. the risk of changing a winning side and going back to "Fire him.. and him.." would (IMHO) outweigh anything else
The only likely "drop" will be Patterson & Clare - as DW will want to bring back Wood, Hartley and Eadie
Courts to #4 alongside Ribbans - Api covering lock and backrow with TH on the bench
10 is trickier - I'd love to see Stephen play how he wants, not as instructed - but as a 100% team guy, he will (sadly) do his job - we do have the luxury we could have both Stephen (who started on the left wing) and Piers on the bench - tough on Stephenson though
Quote:Thrupp artist
Has Stephen explained how he "wants" to play?
