Trying to pick a 17 for Saturday : Tue Apr 23, 2013 10:22 am  

Out are: Gardner, Wilkin, Meil (suspended,) Lomax, Roby, Perry, Wheeler, Flanagan, Manu (?), Yates (injured) Gaskell (on loan). Sorry if I've missed anyone.

Makinson
Swift
Turner
Jones
Percival
Wellens
Hohaia
Clough
Howarth
LMS
Soliola
Puletua
Greenwood

Laffranchi, Charnock, Walmsley, Tilley.

Best I can come up with. If it was me, I'd play Charnock over Hohaia and Forster over Laffranchi but Brown won't do that.

Starting to look like your average Salford, Wakefield or Bradford lineup.

It will given that we have almost a full starting team either injured or suspended.

What happens when you have 10 first team players out.

So that's a good thing if we can do that with so many injuries.

Here is an option.

Makinson
Swift
Jones
Percival (I don't get what moving him to the wing offers)
Ashe
Turner
Lance

Walmsley
Howarth
Clough
Sia
Laffranchi
Wellens

LMS
TP
Greenwood
Hand

A fairly nimble back line with a pack that should be enough. Also gets Frank in the back row.

But the halves are an issue, but they where anyway, so what's the harm. In a way, balance out the rest of the side and then the last 2 play in the halves.

It will be very difficult. Would you rather play an experienced first teamer out of position, or risk it with an academy player in the correct position? For me it is the latter, so I would go with:

Wellens, Swift, Turner, Jones, Makinson, Hohaia, Charnock, LMS, Howarth, Laffranchi, Puletua, Soliola, Jones.

Walmsley, Greenwood, Percival, Clough
