If it fails this weekend, it fails. But he really needs the game time. And I dont think Watkins defence at this stage is up to what I think Warrington will throw at us this week.[/quote
Its one of those games where he can be risked in, and IMO Keith Senior could do with a rest after last weekend.
Gleeson is still the best British centre in SL - put him up against a less than match fit Gibson and he will have a field day.
The problem for Gibson is he offers little going forward due to injuries wrecking what speed he has - so if he plays all the attack will have to go down Senior's side.
I personnally would like to see Gibson played at loose forward and see how that goes.
My team would be
1. Smith
2. Donald
3. Watkins
4. Senior
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Kylie
9. Diskin
10.Bailey
11.JJB
12.Kirke
13.Gibson
14.Ali
15.Burgess
16.McShane
17.Peacock
I would not play Burrow - that was a pretty serious concussion and Ablett would be unlucky but I thought Kirke had a better game on Sunday.
On Watkins the only way to fast track some improvement at this level is to keep playing him - he will not improve in this area in the slower-paced academy. He will make errors that cost trys - but so do his more experienced team mates.
Given Peacock's propensity for fisty cuffs - I would not start him against this particular side.
