He is injured again so it's probably a blessing. Not that I ever think a player gettin injured is a good thing.

Updated that for you.
I'd feel much more comfortable from a defensive perspective with Duffy starting at full back, rather than TOH

Only flaw is that Duffy isn't very good at defending asides from claiming high balls

My opinion of Tiernan is very changeable, but right now I'd agree that he should be given a chance to start at full back this weekend. In his few appearances recently I thought he looked lively. He's a great man for chasing a high ball, and he is a try scorer too when given the chance. I do have this overriding feeling that he got too caught up in his image as a pro rugby player, and lost focus on the actual rugby, but hopefully Lam's treatment of him has kopped him on a bit.

I've been very impressed with Henshaw at center over the past few games. Ideally, we could start McSharry and Griffin in the centers, with Robbie at FB, but with Dave out for another 3 weeks, I'd continue with Griffin and Henshaw in the middle, and put Duffy in at Full Back

You have to catch the ball to carry it, which I'm guessing is why the ship has sailed on Fifita at centre.

George might have weight but he has lost his power. He doesn't have the confidence to pick a straight line and run it which is all we really need him to do. He's instead hopping about in front of the defence and letting the defence get up. That said I was not very impressed with McKeon last week at 8. If we had Faloon I would say we should start Heenan at 8. Such a pity we don;t have him though.

Paddy Kim Yong Un Power is quoting Saracens at 1/200. I like those odds!

But who will add that that's not already there. New signings but that's no good to us against Sarries or for the rest of the season. At least Fatita would add an extra ball carrier

It's up front we need the beef, not the backs.....

Myself and decadence tried to get that going the last day. The only people who got it was a young lad in front of us. Made me feel old.

After a couple of bad takes on high balls against Zebre I'd be afraid Saracens would target Leader and it's why I would prefer Henshaw back there or even Duffy. Not sure Lam would gamble though with starting Ronaldson at centre or outhalf so I could easily see him starting the more experienced Parks and Duffy. It will be interesting to see his team, a better case can be made for retaining Carty than Leader IMO. It's good to have Clarke returning. The lads have a bit of a break after this one so they should leave it all out on the field.
