That's the thing, can't deny his attack ability. I don't know if I'm been over critical as we but a couple of KR's tries he could have done better in terms of defensive positioning and putting body on the line. He deserves his chance but wouldn't be overly surprised if experience was put at FB.

I'd have Whiting at 2, Horne on the bench and leave Crookes out.

Squad is Briscoe,crookes,crooks,Ellis,green,heremaia,Horne,holdsworth , houghton ,lynch,miller,o'meley ,Pitts, Shaul,tickle,watts,westerman,whiting,yeaman

You'd have our slowest back in place of our fasted on the wing.?

Ever hear the old saying "forwards get you to Wembley and the backs will win the cup for you"?

We need as much pace as is available. Shaul, Briscoe and Crookes are the fastest we have available. All three should play (in the absence of Lineham)

No reflection on Rich Horne, but I don't see a place for him in the 17.

Horne and one of Pitts or Green to make way.

Horne and Green to miss out, for me, if everyone is fit.

Biggest concern is the centres.

If one of them is injured then we could either move Whiting to centre and Green to the bench, or play Horne at centre with Whiting on the bench. I'm not sure which of these two options I prefer.

Happy with pretty much any combination from that 19, given potential injury scenario at the final hooter on Friday night.
