Team Options for Friday : Sun Mar 14, 2010 3:10 pm  

If my injury update this morning is spot on which it usually is expect to see Wello TP and Sia back along with possibly Gids (50/50)... How would you line-up?

IMO We need Soliola in the 3/4's to strengthen the defence against Wire's 3/4's

Wellens
Gardner
Gidley/Wheeler
Soliola
Meli
Pryce
Eastmond
Graham
Cunningham
Puletua
Wilkin
Flannery
Roby

Moore
Clough
Fa'asavalu
Fozzard

Could possibly use Wheels on the bench depending if we're going for size or flair, Wheels could cover alot more positions if needed

I reckon Wheeler should retain his position at centre because he's perfectly ok there and with more experience he'll be even better there. If we're going to bring on the yoof then we should do it and the imports should go in the second row where they belong. (That would be Soliola in this instance, although I don't think he's due back this week and even if he is, he will be very rusty having only played half of one game all season so frankly I don't want him on the pitch against Warrington)

Not sure it be great idea putting sia in the centre this week, he's been out for a while, so played a full game since the 4 nations in november, so i expect it to take him him good month to reach match fitness.

Id stick with wheeler and gidley if fit. id stick sia on bench for this one and spell him in the backrow.

wello
gardner
gidley
wheeler

pryce

fozzard/tony p
flannery
wilkin
roby

moore
sia
maurie
tony p/fozzard

clough and bryn miss out

Clough selected over Flannery? Possibility?

Possile but id go for flannery as he is more mobile with having a big bench. It shows we have a good 19-20 man squad when all fit.

Thats the problem getting them all fit!

I agree with using Soliola off the bench though with Gids/Wheels 3&4

Sia looked a tad slugish against hull from what i could see. Looked pretty slow off the mark which would be problem against bridge, atkins, king and riley.

With maurie, tony p and sia on bench we would have some good impact off the bench which would be great if we can weather the storm for first 20 mins.

I went the Bulls Wire match and when Bradford were in Wires faces they looked clueless under pressure but as Bradford tired and hung back Wire ripped them apart... I think thats the key, low penalty count and aggressive defence

I said it few times today on here, if you put pressure on them, they are not so hot. Don't get me wrong they look good at moment but if we get in there faces they will make mistakes. The bulls did it in parts last night and wigan did it at warrington for 30 mins and they fell apart.

The problem is, can we do it.
