As we're all experts what would your 17 be if you had a fully fit squad t choose from ?? Mine
Shaul Lineham Sa Yeaman Talanoa Pryce Sneyde Paea Houghton Watts Ellis Mini Westerman
Rankin/Cunningham Green Thompson Hadley
Rankin or Cunningham dependant on whether Houghton wax expected to play the 80 . Centre is a position that needs looking at improving but until then yeaman gets the nod from me and Talanoa is better as a winger !! The bench could easily be swapped around with the likes of feka , Abdul and whiting . I'm a big fan of Hadley and think he could be an FC player for years to come

Talanoa better as a winger? He has been miles better at centre the last few games, he is too slow is isn't good enough under the high ball to play on the wing, at centre he has the strength to cause problems.
Hadley over Whiting, as it stands a Whiting is better in every area than Hadley, who really needs to kick on, this would my team.
Shaul Lineham Talanoa Sa Naughton Pryce Sneyd Paea Houghton Watts Ellis Mini Westy
Cunningham Whiting
I would rotate the other 4 props on form, injuries etc, but personally I'd go with Feka and Green.

Agree with Dave regarding Talanoa not quick enough as a winger but good in the centres, at the moment Rankin just edging Shaul or me Rankin Lineham Talanoa Sa Naughton Pryce Sneyd Paea Houghton Watts Minichello Ellis Westerman Subs Thompson Whiting Green/Bowden Hadley

Pretty close between Shaul and Rankin, but Shaul is our long term option there, so it would be better in the long term to play him, currently not playing at all won't be helping his moral or confidence either.

When you look at it like that you've got a good point, but I think we need to play form players & what team will do more damage to the opposition.

Regarding shaul or rankin I'd go shaul. Westy back now so don't see the need for another ball player at 1 Shauls support play is massively better. All the breaks half breaks and offloads I'd of backed shaul to bag a try or 2 against saints. He's a match winner. I know this is rovers but it's bigger than that. It looks really ropey if we lose this!

Looking at the teams, most fans agree to position 2-13, it's just the Full back spot and the bench spot that are the decisions, just wish Radford saw it this way also.
