[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 667379, member: 34990"] Going off of the pre-season games, I think our side for Bath will be: 1. AdM 2. Jones 3. Cobilas 4. Paterson 5. Hines 6. Braid (c) 7. Seymour 8. Easter 9. Cusiter 10. Cipriani 11. Cueto 12. Tuitupou 13. Addison 14. Brady 15. Mclean Neild, Harrison, Lewis-Roberts, Ostrikov, Lund, Cliff, Ford, Macleod/Ingall Macleod and Ingall both got decent amount of game time in the preseason so could be either. Dimes has gone with a Ford/Macleod bench in the past, but I don't particularly like it as there's no wing cover, and Cueto/Addison/Ford can all cover 15, so I'd rather Ford/Ingall on the bench, with Cueto covering centre from the pitch. Not a bad side. Can't help but feel we lack a bit of fire power on the carry with Leota out injured and no big carrying backrower signed - Seymour, Easter and Braid are all great carriers but aren't really built to smash over the gain line. Hines should see a lot of action, along with AdM and Jones. Ostrikov off the bench will help, though. Nervous about Neild getting game time, he's only this season nailed down hooker as his position - even as recently as the JRWC, with England, he's been playing openside as much as hooker. Going to be a baptism of fire, but with Taylor out and the Georgian not here yet there's no other choice. Excited to see Addison back properly. Missed best part of a year through various injuries. Will be interesting to see how we go with him at 13. Tuitupou and Leota are a great centre partnership, not the classiest but huge work-rate and defence. At times it's like having 5 backrowers (especially in the maul - those two flying into mauls has helped stop more than a few in our 22). [/QUOTE]
