A) rather wello at halfback than lance, based on last weeks performance - he did enough in the halves last week to warrant this selection, given the lack of returning players

B) who knows what's happened to wheeler, I'm sure the rumours will fly over the next week - charnock is a young kid and given the number of those well have in the pack this week, we need some experience somewhere!

I'd of gone with charnock and then one of lance or wello, but obviously charnocks been deemed not ready ...

He's not picked wello over lance this week tho has he? They have been paired!

So we got two ex fullbacks that in reality shouldn't (or not wanted by most fans) be in the 17. None have the rugby brain to direct us around the park. None of them have a kicking game.

Very strange IMO. We can usually get away with have one of them partnering either Wilkin or Walsh but I don't think we will get away with both in the halves.

Well yes, I don't think anyone would have the preference of playing them together, but it's needs must - even if charnock did play, there's no guarantees he'd be able to dictate play, and is obviously judged, by people who are far more knowledgable on the matter than anyone on this board, as not ready. What's going on with wheeler is beyond me but all seems more than meets the eye.

All in all who does that leave who could do a better job?

Wheeler is injured. Not serious but not worth risking. He was at Wakefield last week with the rest of the injured / banned squad.

I've very surprised that neither Charnock or Wheeler are in the halves. I don't get why Brown sees Wello as capable of playing halfback. I've got no problem with him playing in the backrow, just not at halfback.

Think again........

Come on, now is not the time for points scoring amongst the fans, I'm sure the respective posters will put their hands up during the week.

But right now, the only thing we should be doing is congratulating the team for their fabulous performance!

Agree - however there are those who are determined to ignore the evidence and slag off certain players - it needs pointing out.
