do you think radders is going to be on the bench?

and why have a impact fullback? tony works very hard at fb so why move him to hooker to rest berrigan?

Just looking at having some cover for the backs. Berro may do the best part of 80 mins. Rather then have Houghton on the bench, I think Hall would give by far the better cover.

Radford has led the team superbly this season and I cant see him starting from the bench at all this season, his work rate has been outstanding and you need him on the pitch from the off to give us the solidity we currently have. Washbrook is nowhere near Radfords level in terms of defence and work rate and I believe he would be a waste of a bench spot as he cant provide the impact of some others. Think Washy could struggle to nail a spot in the team if all players arrive that we hope will. All imho of course

It's so confusing! We have two young potentially great loose forwards in washbrook and whiting, we have a second row who is one of the best goal kickers in super league on great form, another second row playing looseforward who is our captain, Willie manu who runs like a steam train, a great young second row in mike burnett, a very good chance (imo) of michael crocker, australian internation second row, coming over, and lauaki ( i think he's second row?)!
