If our forwards can play like they did yesterday then the platform will be made for Rangi to show us what we've been missing. We have to keep Tompkins quiet as he is a class player and one who can change a game in a heart beat. Hope IM puts Dixon opposite Pat Richards as he (Richards) would have a field day jumping for the high ball against "The Beast". Got a feeling in my tummy, as with the Leeds game, that we could take something from this match. Hope I am right.

Word on casforum is that Shenny has a broken bone in his foot.

Saw him on crutches after the game - doesn't look good.

Not great news obviously but not a major position to be missing. We have cover there. not to amazing standards but to good standards. Owen to wing? Thompson to centre with emmitt back in to forwards. We will cope but it is gutting.

Carney to centre?
Gilmour to centre?
Thompson to centre?

When did we become so spoiled for choice after having players like Snitch, Ferres and Mitchell in the centres in 2012?? I'd go with Gilmour to centre and start with Holmes or Thompson in the back row.
Tansey
Owen
Gilmour
Webster
Carney
Chase
Ellis
Mason
Clark
Huby
Holmes
Hauraki
Millington

Massey
Emmitt
Thompson
Fleming

Will be gutted if Shenny is out - I think much of our stronger backbone this year is down to stronger centres and back-rowers defending out wide.

I'll get blown to bits with this, but rather than move things around, I'd play Owen in the centre. He has had a torrid 12-months agreed - but wing and full-back not right for him at the moment, in the past he was always strong in the centre, if it worked it would also allieviate what could be a major disruption any time Webster or Shenton are unfit.

Thompson at loose-forward for me - massively undervalued and would be like our own Liam Farrell in this position.

I don't think putting Owen against Richards would be very good, he would have a field day and wouldn't even have to jump for the ball. Dixon has to play opposite Richards as he is the best we have at contesting the high ball and can keep him quiet.
