What is up with HP anyway? Have not seen him play for a long time. He has been injured a lot in the past few seasons.

SH teams all asked if he could sit the season out - give them all a bit of a chance like.

Yup.

However an in form Cuthbert would probably see Liam Williams moving to the bench.

No.
No

Wilkinson or Paul Thorburn! HP (Yes I know where the door is and it won't hit my behind as I leave)

I might have chosen Henson in his pomp, but he'd have been pissed.

Haha, very good.

Assuming Halfpenny gets back to top form he is possibly the best FB in the world and definitely the best in the NH. His one weakness, other than injury, would be his running game but I think that is due to Gatland's 'gameplan', in that we never/rarely see it, rather than any deficiency on his part. He showed for the Lions in Oz that he he can play as attacking role when required - the timing and angles of his lines in to the backline were exquisite at times.
