According to the T and A 1-17 is Potter's first choice side which is deeply concerning if true. Walker in the left centre and Jeffries at 6 does not fill me with optimism.

I had a feeling Potter would have Purtell ear-marked to play on the wing, as he was for much of the season at Penrith...Enabling Chev to play Centre. As for Jeffries at Stand Off, i have to agree thats a little concerning given we have Briggs and Sammut both fit and available...

I was thinking that myself.

They are only numbers, but, if players see their omission from the “17” as a kick in the teeth, it might push one or two of them (like Sammutt) to try harder in training and push the current incumbent?

And Briggs, it would appear?

If thats honestly potters starting 17 then we might aswell pack up now. Jefferies at 6? you must be joking

Yeah, the thing that jumps out is 'Hey, Sykes and Platt, there's the door'

I mean Platt had the No 1 shirt last season for goodness sake - he's gone from the top of the list to the very bottom
