If Aiton and Collis both not fit then I'd go:



Mathers

Fox

Mellars

Walshaw

Cockayne

John

Smith

Johnson

Ellis

Wilkes

Southern

Kirmond

Trout



Lauititi

Raleigh

Wood

Washbrook



I'm assuming that Amor will not be back for this, if he is then he goes in at prop with Johnson dropping to bench and Washbrook dropping out.



Ellis gets his chance then to show what he can do (which is what everyone seeems to be crying out for).

Washbrook seems to have gone quiet since the Cas friendly and I think LF is Trouts favoured position so give him a shot at it in a game where there is little expectation on us (can't imagine many will have us down for winning this one).

Walshaw gets more than 5 minutes (as quite frankly that was ridiculous yesterday).

According to the man himself, he is expecting to be back next week.

Wouldn't be surprised if he got a run out with the u20's next week to get some game time under his belt first. He was deemed short of match practice before the first game, hence playing at Batley, so that will have got worse. Seems to be Agars way.

Aiton got a bad dead leg apparently and is doubtful for the Warrington game. Wouldn't bother risking him to be honest. I would give Ellis a go, he'll be desperate to show what he can do.



Do we know what the situation is with Matt James? Is he back here because he is injured?

Tim Smith has come up with some nice touches Johns is out of his depth at the minute. Smith and Wood to start next game. Or we could get Gareth Moore back and go with Wood and Moore lol.

Seriously I think if John Kear was in charge we would have won at least 3 of our games this year !

maybe, maybe not. Time to move on.

Who laid on Ben's 3 tries?

'Out of his depth' Isaac John.

How many good in play kicks has he done? 1?

How many times has he taken the line on ? 0 ?

He took the line on a few times and helped clean up a few last tackle back plays. Set up a few. It was a good performance from John.



We just need to get both halfbacks firing. I think there is something in the smith /John partnership and it should be persisted with a while yet.



It's hooker where I would like to see a change and prop/ bodies permitting.



Ellis/ wildie - hooker.



Amor, Johnson to start... Wilkes/ raleigh to interchange.



Southern at prop is not doing any favours to the team despite him probably putting his hand up which Is commendable.



If anything southern looks like he needs a week off and that would benefit him greatly.



Mathers

Fox

Walshaw

Mellars

Cockayne

John

Smith

Amor

Ellis

Johnson

Kirmond

Lauititi

Washbrook



Wildie

Wilkes

Raleigh

Moriano/trout



I'm against wholesale changes but think these would benefit the team.



Walshaw at centre (Atkins centre) could be a good use of walshaws strong tackling.



Would like to see wildie get a bash on last weeks u20 performance while I feel wood was really targeted well by hudds in defence.
