Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Presumably Sita will be selected for a cameo performance given Cooper’s unavailability.

Questions, do you return ratch to fb, or stick with ashtons pace, and have him on the bench as cover
(For everything I guess)

Doro not even in the squad.

I would prefer him to Akauola.

A bit unfair that IMO.

He's no worse than good old Roy and presumably not on the same wedge Also we don't know whether it's all down to him or the coach.

You play Ratch at full back, surely.

I think the question is which one of Ashton/Thewlis/Lineham plays left wing.

Bench will be interesting too. Can we carry Walker and one of the above/Austin?

Agreed.

Thewlis hasn't warranted being dropped, so even though I have concerns we'll miss his go forward in the latter stages of the play offs (should we get there) I think Thewlis keeps his place.

Ratchford
Charnley
Mamo
King
Thewlis
Williams
Widdop
Hill
Clark
Mulhern
Hughes
Currie
Philbin

Sita
Clark
Longstaff
Walker

Although I personally would probably look to have one of Mulhern or Philbin on the bench so that the drop off is not as noticeable.

I don't think the Austin experiment has worked, and I wouldn't want to risk it in the play offs, Longstaff is the better second rower - assuming Price uses him

Re: Squad for HKR : Wed Sep 22, 2021 1:26 pm  
A lot of unknowns regarding just how fit everyone is at the end of the season.

You can play Walker as a genuine interchange Hooker, in order to spell D Clark, or you can use J Clark or Ratchford in case of injury. Moving a player who's already done a lot of minutes up to Dummy Half doesn't give you that same injection of pace that you get from bringing a fresh pair of legs off the bench.

If everyone is as near fit as is possible this far in then I think that he'll start with J Clark at 13, Hill and Mulhern as starting props, Philbin and Akauola off the bench, Walker as interchange then it's between Longstaff and Austin for final place on the bench. I think that he'll stick with Thewlis on the wing despite Ashton's MotM performance last week.
