I think Cooper has had really strong few games, as has riley but would pick Cooper

That's as close to as damn it a full strength side for both sides.

Will be a pity if the two to drop from us are Solomona and Morley though.

i reckon if they are in the squad they are fit to play, barring a late injury.



Mind games wise, if those two are named and don't play its a big boost to Hudds and a blow to wire



Both fit for my money...

It would be pointless putting Moz in the squad if we aren't going to play him. I would keep Mike Cooper in the 17, he's been playing very well lately. whatever happens it will be a strong side and a strong bench.

Riley had a good game against Hull however every time Hull kicked a high ball to his wing i couldn't watch. he seems to just stay on the floor and wait for the attacker to catch it knowing that he wont get near it which then allows the offload, while we've got king and joel fit i think we need both on the wings so that we can utilize the kick to the corner maybe putting blythe at centre and keeping bridge at 13 because he was brilliant at the weekend.

The Giants are like Catalan, a big strong rough pack, so we need four Props to counter this.

I have put Coops at Loose and Ben H interchange Pop but they could swap over and equally do a good job.

Barring injuries I think Jon Clarke may have played his last game in the P & B. But TS may use Jon as interchange for Louis, Simon and Ben and leave Matty out, not sure which way TS will play it. But my team above is my best guess.

2 Chris Riley

15 Jon Clarke

no way cooper will be left out... he has been a revelation at 13.

Why has Clarke been dropped, he played at Hull? Higham has been the one left out recently. Why would this change?

I think we needed Jon's size and tackling at Hull and in other recent games. But now our forwards are starting to return from injury then TS will use Mickey for hooker over Jon. When all our forwards were fit then TS played Mickey as interchange with Monas, it was only when we started to get light in the pack that Jon was recalled.



I could very easily be wrong and Jon play and either Mickey or Matty are left out. Jon to his credit can cover a number of positions .

You mad! Coops needs to be in the pack especially against Hudds

OI, do not give Clarke credit, do you not know the rules!!!



Personally I think I'd keep Jon in the squad merely on defence really.

Not really we are missing 4 first teamers who would be shoe ins



Lunt, O'Donnell, Cudjoe and Ferguson
