With Briers a doubt, Clarke struggling with a groin injury & now Grix out, we could be struggling to get a half back pairing this Sunday www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=14687

With Briers a doubt, Clarke struggling with a groin injury & now Grix out, we could be struggling to get a half back pairing this Sunday www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=14687

Worst case scenario;



6. Chris Bridge

7. Michael Monaghan

9. Alex Thompson

Lee Briers is playing (Touch wood)

Is Thompson up to SL standard?

With Higham out who would you put at hooker? With Grix and Briers (potentially) out who do you have at scrum half if Monaghan moves to No 9? Potentially we could have [ifour[/i pivots out on Sunday injured. In which case we cant be fussy over whether a player is up to SL standard. Besides, its about time he was thrown in at the deep end.

How old are our academy half backs? I'd be tempted to give them 10-15 minutes whilst we are clearly going to have space on the bench.

Mathers



Carney

Bridge / Johnson

King

Riley



Briers / Bridge

V Anderson



Carvell

Monaghan

Wood

L Anderson

Westwood

Harrison



Johnson / Blythe

Cooper

Mitchell

Rau??

Mathers has played 6 for Wigan (albeit not very well).

I think it will be best not to move too many people around so keeping Mathers at full back where he has been doing good - maybe not in best interests to strenghten one position only to weaken another?

Have we got an Eastmond waiting in the wings like champion sides have? Genuine question, I've been a member of SqB since 2003 and I thought this would help in securing the talent of the future.

Yes - just a year too young at present.



Although may be worth throwing O'Brien as he's been outstanding all year. Not sure dirty Huddersfield are the team you'd want to throw him in against.

louis anderson has had a little nibble at the hooking role...throw him in there...2 props carvell and wood..and theres harrison westwood and v anderson making the rest of the pack....
