If there are questions whether Ellis will play prop, then therein lies the difference between the two teams. Wire win by 12-18 with home advantage, but I think this will be a high scoring affair for both teams.
Ellis plays in a prop style role for the majority of games these days if named at 2nd row or not.
I'd like to see all out bombardment of Wire, so I'm going with Hadley & Thompson in the 17 with Washbrook losing out. it's going to be one hullava bash up and I think one team is going to crack, so I'm going to go us by 16, 34-18.

Like the look of that Knocker, especially the bench, I'd change Hadley for Washbrook and thats it
Looking at those two squads, this has the makings of the game of the season by anybodies measure. What a fantastic achievement to be able to say that.
I hope the guys on the field can live up to it and not let the occasion get to them. Massive game for either team. No idea what the result will be, impossible to call.

The example is when Brough is playing for Huddersfield they are a very good side.Take out Brough like last week and they are not he same team. Put Danny Brough into our team and we go up another level
Fine, but Brough would take time grow into the position, as would any player coming in. You've written Tuimivave off after three and a half games in the position plus you maintain he had pre season at centre. Pretty sure it was mentioned he'd trained at six and Abdul at loose man. Heyho, AP and Radford seem to know what they're at. Our pack when fully fit is better than any other, Knockers team selection looks to me like it can do the job. I would go with Hadley starting at loose man, he is the quiet man of our side, he had an excellent game when picked at stand off in a late change, recently. We need to be quick off the mark, no daft penalties, wear them down, keep the pressure on for the full 80, tall order, I know but "I Bel13ve" we can do it, but I'm a glass almost full, type of supporter.

Bumpy's bench selection is sickening. Imagine being the opposition & seeing that lot coming on after 20 minutes of being smashed about by Ellis, Taylor, Mini & Watts.
Hadley, as I've put before, I think is more suited to starting rather than providing impact off the bench.
It's a difficult decision whether to go with Washy in the 17 or not. I think Radford will put him in, but can see the reasons for leaving him out tomorrow.

A couple of typo's due to being on a small screen phone, hardly a crime, certainly not one to instigate insults
Your example of Brough is flawed. As good a player as he can be, he can also be a disruptive dummy spitter who can break team spirit and become a decent machine. Also, Huddersfields position and performances overall suggests that Brough impact has not been as great as you suggest.
You have singled out CT before he has been given a decent run on the team at 6.

The real reason Bonaire is singling out CT, is due to his continued hatred for Yeamo
CT to the centres means displacing Yeaman (as Griffin will have one of the spots nailed down), hence Bonaire doesn't want to even think about CT playing at 6 and the subsequent thought of Yeaman still being played at centre. It makes him feel sick. New 6, CT to centre, Yeaman released is his thinking.
