Yeah but we don’t have any other big bodies as far as I’m aware - unless we play an academy lad like AJ Wallace.

Problem for me is that T Briscoe in particular will get picked no matter what his form is. I’ve been a supporter of his on this board but I don’t think he’s been great this year so far.

Tom wasn`t great the year before either with Luke the better of the two.
The fact he got a 2 year deal is beyond belief.
Both the Briscoes are not good enough with maybe Luke just edging it as a back up in case of injuries.

If Liam is fit he will play in the halves alongside Eastmond.
So don`t expect much from our half backs this Sunday then.
Broadbent
Tom Briscoe even though it should be Luke.
Hurrell
Mellor
Handley
Sutcliffe
Eastmond
Mik
Leeming
Prior
Walters
Martin
O`Connor

Dwyer
King
Thompson
Donaldson

Something like this won’t be far off. I just want them to throw the shackles off and chuck any hopes of structure out the window (‘square pegs round holes’ and all that).

Interested to know what agars method of addressing the low energy he says he identified early last week in training and hope he’s found a better method this week.

As much as it disappoints me, I wouldn’t be surprised if this correct given the news A Sutcliffe highly unlikely to play and Liam is. Handley at full back just doesn’t sit well with me.

Others from 21 I reckon will be Edwards, Gannon, O'Connor and Hall.

I don't like Handley at fullback but with A Sutcliffe out then Broadbent is the obvious choice at centre.

I’d rather see Broadbent at fb and mellor centre and either briscoe making way for various reasons. Play your better players (Handley) in their strongest positions giving the limited halves some strike to aim for.

I hear you but with Handley at fullback and Broadbent at centre there is only Handley out of position. Broadbent deserves a chance in his favoured position. Also Handley surely can't be as bad as he was last week.

Less pressure on the FB if the defensive line is in order.

Definitely an argument to play Broadbent at left centre. Hasn’t really put a foot wrong unlike some others.

I still feel one or two more senior players should be stood down for a week, based on form so far this season. Sure there are reasons for it but it’s hurting the team.
