Pretty much agree with that Willzay, I'd not want to rock the boat too much but would like to see Craig Hall at stand off, but then you weaken our fullback position.
Willzay - I think you have it spot on with Paul Sykes he worked well with Smith usually in right place when defending decent kicking game and read the game well and to me Miller don't bring this to the table.Alas when you have no money you cant expect to put the best dinner on the table and have to make do with what ever there is.
Agree regarding Washbrook. Starting him at 9 sends out a very negative message for me, it suggests that Webster is more concerned about the opposition strengths than playing to our own, it also stifles our attack because Washbrook is one of the most slowest passers of the ball in SL. McShane must start against Catalans, otherwise how on earth are we supposed to get on the front foot?
If McShane starts at 9 who do we put on the bench to interchange with him at present with Godinet injured and Sammut needed at 7? As he is not Paul Aiton and can't play for the full 80 minutes...

There's always the option if looking into our junior ranks. I'm sure young Brad Moules would relish the chance to have some SL game time, if it's only a 10 minute stint in each half.
Godinet and Sammut halves. Even if Miller fit I would have Sammut over him. OWen not in my team Johnstone wing and Hall back to full back. Escare would show Owen a clean pair of heels every time. Have we any decent hookers coming through the academy?
Think if Godinet is back but not 100% then Trinity ought to play him off the bench for 20 mins to spell McShane.
Owen is still quicker than what Mathers was at full back. Hall and Sammut again in halves for me.
Starting pack of Scruton, McShane, Simon, Kirmond, Lauitiiti and Washbrook. Subs. Dan Smith, Griffin, Crowther, Godinet.
The bench says it all. Without wishing to be disrespectful of any of our players, there isn't enough impact on there. I would start with Ali on the bench and have him running at tired defenders later in each half.
