Strong squad, still lacking at halfback, which is where we have the edge hopefully.

Big plus that Ablett is out, always plays well against us and scores

Yes, I agree. Hope we put in a good shift!

Can Connor play centre? If so I'd play him instead of Griffin. He needs to spend a month with Yeaman to show him what he should be doing

Ablett and Keinhorst are massive losses for us. Expecting Golding and Galloway to drop out for this one, can't see Golding shoulder recovering and think two games over Easter for Galloway to return would be too much.

Sutcliffe
Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall
McGuire Lilley
Garbutt Parcell Baldwinson
JJB Delaney
Cuthbertson

Burrow Ward Oledzki Mullally

Probably be something totally different on game day but that's how I would go if Golding is out. If not, Golding to FB, Cuthbertson to P, Sutcliffe to lF, Garbutt to bench for Oledzki.

Personally dont like Connor on the bench but makes sense to cover at 9
I like Ellis off the bench provides the impact we need.
Fash deserves another outing but think Radford will go for Turgut who has a bit more pace

Yes. He was starting centre v wire and wigan and played most the game there v widnes

Not sure why you're so against Connor on the bench. In 8 games we've lost a back to injury in 4 of them.

Simple reason is four forwards on the bench served us well last season and i see no reason to change.
We have lost bench impact since Pritchard went so for me we need to have another forward.
I see what you mean about losing a back to injury and thats just bad luck and coincidence that Connor was on the bench but Radford seems to want to find a place for Connor for the wrong reason as he is just a utility player and nothing special.
That said Griffin is a major disappointment and giving Connor a run at left centre wouldnt surprise me.

Defensively .. I agree..

As yet he isn't doing quite enough going forward to outweigh his defence, but it's early days yet.

I thought he played well on the wing one game this year went Talanoa went off (Saints)

At one point I'd like to see this as our backs
