Cause he had Farah to play 60mins available last week…
Where does Jason Taylor go with our great hooker policy now?!

I thought it was a committee who selected the team now, which had a lot of people cheering when TT delivered the news. Why are we pinning it all on Taylor again?
Your good GNR4LIFE. Anything to take any blame at all away from the coach.
Yeah lets blame Oneill, im sure he forced Taylor to put him there in a late change!!
Poor JT hving this forced upon him.
You think Taylor is not getting the team he wants with dropping Robbie to the bench (for Ballin a Taylor signing) or "resting" him? Also with Rankin (a Taylor signing) coming back into the team for JAC
Keep the excuses up for him mate they are hilarious.
Committee must have outvoted Taylor !!

JT doesn't like Robbie.
Robbie couldn't play today 'cos of concussion not because JT doesn't like him.
Plan was ET to start and Halatau to take over.
Halatau picks up an injury so ET has to play the entire game @ hooker.
- Farah COULDN'T play today
- Halatau, who has played hooker for us the most this year was going to play hooker, sharing the duties with Elijah however got injured
- If whoever was playing hooker went down, ET would've had to slot into that role.
- Liddle isn't ready clearly and Cherrington is unwanted/on the way out.

For mine it's pretty simple Eddie…..you don't weaken a specialist Lock in ET and weaken him by playing him at Hooker :crazy .
If Liddle travelled with the team and Farah is ruled out ? you do a like for like replacement , bringing in Felisse for Farah is pretty dumb IMO , ET's game was affected by it.

I do not think it was a late change. They knew since Thursday that Farah would not be playing. Halatau was under in injury cloud with a hamstring problem, but was ruled out due to concussion. I would suggest that the reason Liddle was taken was if Halatau did not overcome hamstring problem, they would have started with ET at hooker & Liddle would have come off the bench.
@Eddie said:
Not at all ..I would have used Liddle from the bench …I've said that already... but I see why he did...
Anyway the way the whole team played the 1st half not touching the ball for 15min's don't think whoever was dummy half would have made much of a difference..
To the teams credit they performed much better in the 2nd half with 16 men..

I don't know what's going on with the team selections Eddie, you're obviously missing my point which is the 180 degree turn you and your buddies have made from the TT thread. The hypocrisy.

It's obvious to you now cos we're losing. It wasn't in TT's thread. Again, I'm not arguing whose selecting the team, I'm arguing YOUR hypocrisy.

As predicted by a few.
Selectors pick the team when we win.
Taylor picks the team when we lose.
GNR is spot on.

Didn't see that!!! I was out the back mumbling expletives so my partner didn't lose it at me, doing laps of the backyard at half time. I considered staying out there considering how we were playing.
If that's true about Sandercock and he was the one behind that comeback then he deserves the job and JT can head for hills with his tail between his legs. That would be the second or third time he's been caught on camera sulking in the sheds at half time letting his assistants dish out the motivation!

It was supposed to be for a limited time, with Halatau taking over. I do not necessarily agree with it, but the alternative would have been having both Halatau & Liddle in the side, so end up with something like:
8\. Woods
9\. Halatau
10\. Sue
11\. Aloiai
12\. Lawrence
13\. ET
Bench
Grant, Liddle, Lovett, Ava, JJ. Who gets dropped off the 5 man bench?
