What's the dilemma? Hall may well have got three tries last week, but Briscoe has started the season far better than him, and BJB last two performances have been better than both (despite not as good a player IMO). Therefore you drop Hall.

RYAN HALL: 5 Tries, 5 Appearances
TOM BRISCOE: 5 Tries, 5 Appearances
BEN JONES-BISHOP: 4 Tries, 2 Appearances
KALLUM WATKINS: 4 Tries, 6 Appearances
ZAK HARDAKER: 4 Tries, 6 Appearances
JOEL MOON: 2 Tries, 5 Appearances
Given he is both recovering from an injury, and our least prolific outside back, I'd say drop Moon.

Hall is the best winger at the club and his form has returned. Briscoe started like a house on fire (outside Watkins) but in his last outing (outside Moon, Ablett and Ward) was poor. He's still the second best winger at the club. BJB has been excellent in his two games outside Watkins, He's still the third best winger at the club.
For me the decision is easy and it's simply do I select BJB at left centre ahead of Moon, if Moon's fit, or do i leave BJB out.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

I really think we missed the chance to see BJB or Briscoe at centre last Friday. If our coach wants to keep Ablett in the pack then it was obvious (IMO) to look at the option of one of those two in that position. You don't want to move Hardaker to centre (although I have a horrible feeling we will see that happen this week) and we have two centres who are at some point going to pick up knocks or need a rest. Ward was just a dumb idea (sorry Brian, but it was).

Stains fans already making excuses for the match. Reading some of their posts you would think they are down at the botom of the league rather than top. What a positive bunch they are!
And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you.

they have a point though.dont think there would be such an air of positvity going into this game around these parts if we had the likes of Sinfield,Watkins,JP,Kylie,Burrow and a couple more front line players missing,which is equivalant to Saints losses this week.
I will take the win if it comes now, as it should.But as I stated elsewhere,would much prefer both teams to be full strength.
