Same 17 as last week except for Cooper replacing J Clark. Cooper and D Clark to start with Philbin and Walker starting from the Bench.

The problem with that is when Daryl Clark starts, barring an injury, price rarely brings him off for walker unless the game is in the bag. Seems a waste of a bench spot as we virtually play with 16. This isn't a dig at walker, I thought he was excellent when he started last time out.

Team picks itself except for the last bench spot, and that depends how SP wants to play it.
I think Philbin will start, but would prefer him coming of the bench with Davis starting at 13 (or possibly 12 with Hughes at 13).

Ratch
Lineham
King
Mamo
Charnley
Widdop
Austin
Hill
Clark
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
Davis

Akauola
Philbin
Mulhern
Butler/Wrench/Walker

With you on this selection, with Butler in the 17 for me.

Just Millington and Griffin missing from the Cas 17 that won the opening game of the season.

D Clark /Walker ,why not try the old ploy of both hookers on the field together at some stage. It worked great under Smith with Higham & Monas.

Re: Squad for cup match. : Thu Jun 03, 2021 7:18 pm  

I'd start with Walker and let Clark cause chaos (hopefully) in the second half.
