Squad Selection : Sat Jul 22, 2017 7:35 am  

What would everybodys team be for the 8's after last night? Obviously we had a few missing but the lads who stood in did a fantastic job.

Gregg McNally has surely earned himself the number one shirt after last nights peerformance.

I think I would go with:

1. McNally
2. Brown
3. Crookes
4. Langi
5. Dawson
6. Mortimer
7. Drinkwater
8. Hock
9.Higham
10. Hopkins
11. Paterson
12. Stewart/vea
13. Burr

Bench

14. Pelissier (If he plays like last night)
15.Tickle (superb last night)
16. Maria
17. Hansen

Some good quality players missing there and we actually seem to have cover in all positions other than centre.

Tough choices to be made - especially if crookes and hock are ok but I have my doubts

Can see Brown going to centre in crookes place, Higson on the wing

McNally has always been good with the high ball, and poor with returns - he wasn't challenged tackle wise defensively but has earned the spot based on that performance

I think James Clare will be back in contention.

There shouldn't be any changes to the team unless forced by injury or suspension now.

Guess you're happy with the selection v Salford?

Everyone one ditched Ben Reynolds ?

Personally I'd like to see it as we now have 3 more than competent halves, I've always been a Drinkwater fan and him and Mortimer controlled the game against Salford - but more than happy to see Reynolds step in if needs be (be it form or injury) as he has grown as the season has gone in. Certainly hope we keep hold of him, he could also learn a lot from Mortimer in training etc

Not sure Reynolds would be happy returning to the stands again Col or out on loan.
