I understand what you are saying about Washbrook but this is a very important game for the club and fans and in my opinion gives us a stronger line up to do the job. I went on to say that the Warrington game may be the one to bring in HTW or Dean which although tough a fresh young half could take advantage of two tired teams after tough derby matches and latch onto some of the Warrington offloads that go to ground.
I still wouldn't move him even for this game, we would be stronger with Ellis playing at centre, but I still wouldn't do it.
Think the backs will be the same as last week.
I would be tempted to start Washbrook and have Ellis on the bench.

But Tuimavave is a turnstile!!! I just dont see what people see in him, V average, hardly played any NRL games and never did anything in them. Comes to SL and lauded by Radford as a player we was after for ages (why?) and he clearly sees him as a centre long term. He did it for two games but then did nothing for three apart from match Logan in his defensive and attacking abilities........utterly confused where people are getting this idea thats hes some wonderful player from????

And you know this from listening to the radio whilst "at work"?
"Former Sharks Albert Kelly, Paul Aiton and Dean Collis have all been listed for a pre-trial conference on May 17, according to Fairfax Media.
Kelly and Aiton both recently received infraction notices over the 2011 program, after they both rejected deals from ASADA at the end of 2014.
While the majority of their teammates escaped with a three-game ban after accepting the deal, the pair could now face two years on the sideline if they now accept the breach.
Stephen Dank, who led the program, last week lost a defamation case against Nationwide News over a series of articles in 2013 about his time at the Sharks."
Wasn't Dank an advisor to Sandercock when he was at Rovers?

Eventually when everyone is fit I'd like our back line to be Shaul Naughton Fonau Tuimavave Lancaster Pryce Sneyd Then you have Talanoa and Logan for cover with Michaels, just think we need to give Lancaster a run like Penny at Warrington he will make errors but he has pace and can finish of try's, I'm sure he would have scored Michaels try against Cas and Tala's at Widnes, ok he can't defend great but the other are as bad and they cannot take high kicks to.

Id like to see Fonua at centre too. I actually think he's too big without having great pace to be a winger. Unlike Carney who is just as big but speedy too.
Shaul Talanoa Tuimavave Fonua Michaels
Looks intriguing to me.
