Gardner told Radio Merseyside that he should be playing on Sunday.

He also said that he would have to take one of those "head tests". Don't know exactly how it all works but presumably he has failed it.

Wellens is that good you picked him twice?

Re: Squad for Hull KR : Fri Apr 05, 2013 9:08 pm  

Why on earth are people still picking Wellens at fullback? What is wrong with you? Why have you not been listening to me? I thought I had completed that mission and could move on, but it seems a few stragglers haven't evolved and are stuck in 2005.

Would you rather he plays on the wing?

If Hohaia is back in the team on Sunday then I can't see Wello playing anywhere other than fullback, with Makinson on the wing to cover Gardner's spot.

I'd much rather he didn't play at all. I don't see what's different to last week.

1 - Makinson
2 - Swift/Turner
3 - Turner
4 - Jones/Percival
5 - Meli
6 - Hohaia
7 - Wilkin

Why on earth would the slug play anywhere other than loose forward?

Re: Squad for Hull KR : Fri Apr 05, 2013 11:17 pm  

I'd go with:

21. Tommy Makinson
26. Adam Swift
3. Jordan Turner
30. Mark Percival
5. Francis Meli
6. Lance Hohaia
12. Jon Wilkin
14. Anthony Laffranchi
35. Stuart Howarth
25. Alex Walmsley
4. Sia Soliola
15. Mark Flanagan
1. Paul Wellens

10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook
16. Paul Clough
19. Josh Jones
24. Joe Greenwood

I expect Brown will play Wello at full back, and Makinson on the wing though, which is a bad move IMO - especially with Dobson's long kicking game.

Big game for us this - huge vocal effort needed.

Two fullbacks eh. It's a very bold move, but it just might work you know. I wonder if anyone has tried that before.

Re: Squad for Hull KR : Sat Apr 06, 2013 12:32 am  

My team would be

1. Makinson
2. Swift
3. Turner
4. Percival
5. Meli
6. Hohiah
7. Wilkin
8. Laffranchi
9. Howarth
10. LMS
11. Sia
12. Jones
13. Flanagan

14. Walmsley
15. Clough
16. Greenwood
17. Wellens

you may be right, but it's folly IMO.
Swift has proved himself capable in the back 3 (some reckon he's got more potential than Tom) and he could also use jones in the centre t push Turner or Percy onto the wing. All better ideas IMO.
