What would your team be? We have lost Briscoe and Wheeldon which is a blow, will Ratu and Galea be back? (
)
I'd go with-
FB - Cockayne
RW - Fox
RC - Ratu (if fit)
LC - Webster - I've liked him in the middle of the park, but with Welham not performing he needs to be in the Centres.
LW - Colbon
SO - Cooke/Galea (if fit)
SH - Dobson
P - Vella
H - Murrell
P - Netherton - Keep him on as long as possible and rotate around him. Maybe not to carry the ball forward alot but to do some donkey work in defence, and having a prop playing 60 mins plus will allow us to keep the other three fresh and therefore/hopefully maximising their yardage.
SR - Taylor - I thought he may have made the squad for the first game. I think i'd throw him in. I like the look of him.
SR - Newton (c)
L - Galea (if fit)/Cooke
REP - Fisher
REP - Cook
REP - Lovegrove - Think he offers good impact off the bench rather than starting the game.
REP - Watts
I toyed with the idea of throwing Mills in off the bench and would maybe be something to think about, but Justin just wont do it, so its not really a point worth arguing.
(
for Clinton to arrive on Monday and line up for us next weekend, but I wont hold my breath.....
