seem to be few not selecting beswick but all wanted him to sign up for this season.

Why risk Beswick when coming back from an injury? He shouldn't play unless 100% fit. Equally Black, but Ben seems quite happy with his shoulder and has declared himself fit. We have a big enough squad to cope, without risking players in a game when they probably arn't fully recovered from injuries

Sure it was in the courier a couple of weeks ago that he would not be fit for the Swinton game. Personally I would leave it a week or two with Bob as he has been a long time out. Also maybe worth taking Ben off if we are leading by 18-20 at HT or atleast spelling him. Think White has played at 6 before as well as Penky.

Fair shout regarding Ben. Maybe Bowman would be an idea for starting at 6 or a bench place (depending on whether or not he still plays for the club) to bring Black off at half time or whenever we're in control. White at 6 wouldn't be great, he cant pass, similar to Miles in a way. To be honest if Bowman isn't availble probably the best option for 6 would be Smithy, who can actually pass and played a couple of games for us there before.

White played at 6 for Jamaica, though that was against USA and Canada, not sure if he's done it against meaningful opposition
