As much as i rate Ward i dont think he's fit enough just yet so id have Clarkson in his spot on the bench and swop Griffin for Kirke.

How did Ward look against Hunslet fitness wise? Was he blowing? I know he played most of the game.
Griff/Kirke - ???? You could argue that one all day.
Be interesting to see when Achurch gets a few opportunities how he takes them. Also when Moore returns from fitness these 2 should be used wisely to give some of the older pack heads the opportunity to practice quality over quantity.

It was Wards 1st run out BB so id like him to get at least 1 more u19 match given how much pre-season he missed contact training wise.
Re-Griffin he had much more impact than Kirke v Dulls and imo we need to step up his minutes to get better out of him.

I'm interested to see more of Achurch and how he does, what is his best position.
I agree we need to use JP and Kylie wisely, surely next season's big signing (if there is one) should be a prop.

To ignore Clarkson would render preseason almost worthless. By all accounts he has been training the house down since he returned, and was regarded by many as man of match against the Bulls.
Preseason should be where you stake a claim for the Jersey's first.

| Stevie Ward has been named in the u19 line up for their thursday fixture v Ull so id expect Clarkson to get a bench spot.

Exactly, and just going by the Bulls game, Clarkson deserves the 1st go. He was probably the best forward on the park and it should be now his to lose.

| Interesting to see what the lineup is. I think the 13 is pretty certain.
On the bench we'll see what the thoughts of the coach are, and what role Achurch is likely to play. I'd expect Griffin to get a game as there is no other out and out prop in the squad, though you could argue Kirke is

Kirke may not like playing prop but I think this season that's where his services will be most needed.

| Friendlies apart, I can't think of many times in recent years where Kirke has been named at anything other than prop when he's been in the starting lineup, or replaced anyone other than a prop when he's come off the bench.
IMO he was the perfect fit for the loose forward role that Bailey played for chunks of last season. Good tackler, mobile, decent footwork.
