Ben shouldn't be dropped from FB as he's been great since moving there. If he was put back on the wing how could dropping Caro or Gardner be justified?

Ben has been good at full back since he came in but great is really pushing it. He cost us the cup game but his faults do seem to be overlooked a lot easier than Edens

To be fair last play options cost us the cup game I've been surprised how well he's done some great try saving tackles I think Eden offers slightly more in attack but it would be harsh on cockayne to be dropped

Looking forward to this. Forward battle should be fun.
Our pack is improving all the time. Won at wire without the Walker bros Langley Cox Poore Carlise. So we have plenty of depth. Will miss Langley in this game. Only missed 3 tackles this season. Costigan should make a mess of their front row. Some of his tackling in the middle is savage.
Hope Burns can repeat his wonder performance at wire. If he does we win.

Burns got himself into a right state last year @ CP. Needs a cool head. Something which doesn't come naturally. Same with BC.

Like to think Poore too might have learned from his spells on the sideline.

Might be busy down @ disciplinary HQ next week.

Yes can see some 3 match bans for high shots, with 2 match bans for the opposition player for 'obstructing' the tackler, with Pearson & Hudgell sent to sit on the RFL naughty step

U19s certainly got the ball rolling last year...are any of them still suspended?
