Thinking Dufty will be on the bench.

Re: Squad for London : Wed Sep 18, 2024 11:34 am  

Ratchford or Lindop at centre? Lindop presumably more match fit so go with him. Could be a really interesting bench.

You've missed Williams out.

Stronger than I thought.

Objectives:

1. No bans
2. No injuries
3. Minutes for Dufty (but see 2)
4. Win match

lindop at centre for me, dufty starts, same as with fitz, no point starting him on the bench and wasting two subs.

Seems Burgess agrees. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... cos-clash/ Just wondering whether it would be worth getting Ratchford some gametime off the bench maybe? Big injury to come back from cold straight in to the play offs and if we lose a halfback or two threequarters through suspension / injury he'll likely be needed.

Agreed.

Ratch on the bench, with Powell or Walker, Crowther and Philbin?
Rest Yates
Harrison and Musgrove as starting props.

The more radical option would be to find a place for Wood and Whitehead. That would probably be at the expense of Zane (who's played well recently) and Jordi - just to give them game time ahead of the play offs. Can't see it happening.

i'm guessing we're in play off mode, i'd like whitehead to get a bit more time, but it aint happening now

actually thats a bit of a weird one, he's been 18th man a few times, but i get the impression, if we lost a middle from the 17, wood would (ha) be in the 17 over whitehead.

Just reading CTW won’t be in the 17, Lindop is in at centre and doubtful Ratchford gets in to the 17 also. Plan is that Dufty will play the full 80.
