Hardaker - BJB apparently (Smith definitely) not the answer. Many think this is Hardaker's best position: let's see.

BJB - causes too many jitters at FB; has a good partnership with Watkins. Keep him on the wing.

Watkins - get some ball to him for gawd's sake.

Hall - his break at Langtree Park demonstrated his effectiveness and strength further in field.



Chisholm - deserves his chance after some promising u-20 performances. Has the pace on the flanks we lack

Webb - Hopefully can give us some extra 'spark' with extra pace over our incumbent SO.

McGuire - our best half back now proven in his absence.

Moore - deserves his chance

Burrow - McShane is after all possibly not the answer. Burrow def better here than in the halves.

Griffin - Give Peacock a break

Sinfield - Not pacy enough at SO; Ward deserves a place at LF and Sinfield def better here to get backs more involved than either Delaney or Clarkson.



Hauraki - Again better bet for getting backs more involved

Ward - Say no more



Hood - Probably our best bet for long term hooker; needs game time at least from bench.

Delaney - Probably our most willing consistent player for [idriving in the ball[/i but can't pass....bring him on as a PROP.



Ablett - Useful to have on the bench

Singleton - Give the lad a chance (if not, then use Kylie as the better impact sub that he is rather than starting prop he isn't)

Nantwiche IF Webb and Mcguire are fit they will play 1 and 7 respectively and no way is Sinfield gonna be moved into the SR.

Fitness permitting for me i'd go with..

Webb

Bjb

Watkins

Hardaker

Hall

Ward/Sinfield

Mcguire

Bailey

Burrow/Mcshane

Griffin

Ablett

Delaney

Sinfield/Ward



Hood

Moore

JP

Singleton/Hauraki

Hauraki said on twitter thursday still 3 weeks away

Is Bailey's suspension over ??



To be honest I don't expect there will be anything like the team I suggest running out at odslum....and if I was actually responsible I doubt I would commit to all those changes. However, I would have the major shifts logged firmly in my head for applying asap to address some of the issues that now appear to be developing...and I would try these long before the business end of the season when it will be too late of course.

This relatively worthless part of the season is incontrovertibly the time to try any new combinations.

Can't see too many issues with the above team.

Personally if burrow is fit he would play 9 with hood on the bench with mcshane missing out.

If Webb isn't fit then I would like to see hardaker given a shot and looking forward to Chisholm getting a chance. Don't think there is any chance of sinfield moving back to loose forward anytime soon though

Anyone know the nature of Webbs illness?I know illness is a personal thing,but I hope he is not too bad

Assuming Webb, Burrow and McGuire are both fit, also taking in the fact that we will be playing again on Easter Monday

Delaney - Probably our most willing consistent player for driving in the ball but can't pass....bring him on as a PROP.



Cannot see Delaney being a front rower.

Nobody seems to be selecting Kirke

That's where he will end up IMO.



Without a doubt he will be a better prop than a certain (near) namesake who commands the Starship Enterprise.

He actually had a stint at prop against Manly, albeit for only around 10 mins or so. He would only be a stop gap but I think he could make a better fist of it than some, whilst we have good options at prop though there's no need to play him there.



If Jay Pitts can play prop Delaney should be able to.

Don't really rate Pitts at prop either. I am sure most forwards could play prop to different degrees, doesn't mean they should. Don't think at the moment Delaney would make many yards up the middle

I would go with:



Webb

BJB

Watkins

Hardaker

Hall

Ward

Mcguire

Bailey

Burrow

Griffin

Delaney

Ablett

Sinfield



Hood

Moore

Clarkson

Singleton

I beg to differ .....Bailey has his undeniable virtues but I bet Delaney could make more yards up the middle than he. As for Kirke........

Think Burrow makes more yards up the middle than he.
