This is great, not because Gleeson is out because I think he is a great player but because i reckon if the same thing would have happened 12 months ago we would have strapped Gleeson up and sent him out to play.
PC was very reliant on players with heaps of SL games under their belt.
I know players have played with injuries under Lowes but mainly towards the back end of the year when we had run out of bodies.
There is a good chance Gleeson could be going at the end of the season and we might have to find a replacement. If he is not fit then dont play him and give a youngster a chance off the bench.
It would be even better if whoever steps in plays well enough to keep him out of the side rather than an automatic place as soon as he is fit.
Gleeson has never really tore Saints apart since he left them for us whereas PJ looked like he was giving them problems in his last outing against them.

Good point. We need to make full use of the whole squad throughout the year - even resting players when theyre fit to play. That way we wont end up having to play a high percentage of the fringe players towards the end of the season - as happened last year.

Only 2 more sleeps.
He always seems to score a try against them though,
won me a few bob over the last couple of seasons...
i'm surprised no one has young mccarthy in their 17, he was excellent in both the wigan and kr game. i think lowes has made a big statement naming him in his 19 and wouldn't be surprised to see him make his debut. he's a warrington lad, young talented isn't afraid n hits hard. If he were to get the nod the lad will deliver no doubt about it.

Jesus Christ make a decision. Do you think it will be Penny or Riley? People criticise the coach to death and then can't even pick a team for fun themselves.

Cant see Bridge, Riley or Penny at Full Back so it must be Hicks.
Who plays right wing? Dont think we can go with Riley if Penny is on the left as it makes us too lightweight. Bridge cant play on the wing or at centre so Johnson will be right centre. It must be riley on the right wing with Bridge on the bench.
