For this week i was thinking Patton. This could well be won on goal kicks & Gidley's goalkicking has been below par for a few weeks. It will give him another couple of weeks to get over any injury that could be affecting his kicking.

This I think

I'd go with that. Bench is vey light and inexperienced though. I've for faith in our Young players but having Dodds, Bailey and Westwood would be an advantage.

agreed, that bench is very very light weight.

Regarding Dodds I wish something would be said about him staying or leaving, I know he only signed for one season.

It might be an advantage and if available then it would pick itself although to be fair G King has really caught my eye recently having previously being underwhelmed (perhaps unfairly)

Philbin played well last week plenty of oomph and both him and Wilde hardly let us down last year when they had extensive game time I don't think that they will this time out if selected. One things for sure they run hard and have plenty of energy.....is that two?

Fair point(s)......

Penny was hungry and determined to grab his chance against Catalans.... Look where that got him.

Sandow is out for the season so we'll see Patton in the halves in all games I expect. I'd be inclined to give the kicking duties to Dec.

Agar suggesting in the Guardian that he is a possibility for Hull next week, if not I'd be surprised if he wasn't fit for the semi...?
