Just good see Gleeson mentioned as part of our squad.

Thought Coley had a good game against Barrow.

I'd go with

McIlorum
Feka
Coley
J.Tomkins

on the bench.

My inkling is he'll play Hansen and Bailey for their defence and drop J. Tomkins

Both Roberts and Carmont were taken off on Sunday. It'll depend if they are fit.

Why Hansen? Doesn't offer anything over Tomkins or Bailey imo.

So do I.

Personally, I prefer Tomkins.

He must think Roberts will be okay because I couldn't imagine how we would line up without him and Carmont given the 19 man squad he has named. I'm pretty confident Roberts should be okay otherwise he would have named Pryce in the 19.

Worst comes to the worst and Carmont isn't fit:

Richards
Roberts
Bailey
Gleeson
Ainscough
Tomkins
Smith
Fielden
Riddell
Prescott
Hock
O'loughlin
Tomkins
------------------------------
Leuluai
Feka
Coley
Hansen

I also heard a whisper that Hock simply didn't turn up for the Barrow trip ? How true this is I don't know. I know its been said he had the flu.

If he simply didn't turn up and the flu is a cover then I'd drop Gaz Hock regardless of what he offers to the team.

He makes more metres forward, more offloads and more breaks. Has made less missed tackles, errors and penalties. But there really is little between them.
