Still no Ashton, so Taylor-Wray or Lindop on the wing.

Yeah I'd go with Lindop. I'd probably go Tai in the centres. So for me

Dufty

Harrison not in the squad.

A minimum of 4 changes from last week (Hayes, Russell, Harrison and Crowther).

I'd like to see Lindop involved but its also a decent game to give Tai a run, he's played wing before I think?

Any shouts for Ratchord at 7 ahead of Drinkwater?

Not from me. Go for a like-for-like replacement - keep it simple.
I think Burgess has done the sensible thing by resting a couple of forwards this week too. No disrespect to Hull - who might be showing a few signs of improvement, judging purely by last week's result - but it's still the obvious game in which to do it.

Appreciate the heads up SHW, I'd swap Philbin for Harrison.

I did consider it in my suggested team above but then remembered Stefs pattycake with Lafai last week and though, Drinkwater needs to get a chance he's in the shop window now and needs to up his game.

I hope his kicking for distance improves and he keeps it simple I'm attack letting Williams and Dufty run the plays.

in the absence of Hayes, Drinkwater has to start surely?
