I'd really like to get a decent look at ECW.
If Miller is out, I'd personally put Lumb to FB and ECW on the wing.


But I expect BA will stick with the core group of players he has been using and may put Handley to FB and Watkins in the centre.


Whichever way, Connor has to stay at 7.
The kicking game will be very important.


If we stick with size on the bench, we have to be clever about how we use Lisone.
He should do 10-15 mins at the end of the first half, then assess how the second half is going before giving him another 10-15 mins.
He can be destructive if used at the right time.
Jenkins should get longer stints.


This will be a tough game.
Wire will be smarting from the CC.
They have a few players back and have to start moving up the ladder.

We need to start fast and not let them get in front to build their confidence 

Let's hit them early with a Rohan-ball offload blitz, lots of lateral movement, 'passive defence' & short kick offs, they won't be expecting it

Big bench needed, theyve got a big pack which weve struggled to handle in previous seasons, we got the better of their pack in the last game, so i would look to match them with size again. 

Our two favourite Refs.
Kendall/Grant.

1. Miller
2. Lumb
3. Handley
4. Newman
5. Hall
6. Croft
7. Connor
8. Oledzki
9. O'Connor
10. Palasia
11. Bentley
12. Gannon
13. Watkins


14. Ackers
15. Holroyd
16. Jenkins
17. Smith


McDonnell and Lisone's turns to be rested.


Obviously pure speculation who will be rested, if Ackers is fit too, albeit Bentley, Gannon and Jenkins have all had a week off as well as Oledzki for his ban. Palasia, McDonnell, Holroyd and Lisone have yet to have a week off.


Not a clue whether we would go with Lumb/Handley/Edgell should Miller not be fit.

Again? 2nd consecutive week. Is this usual?

To me, to you..

Miller not in the usual training pictures on social media, I think Edgell will play there, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ECW olay aswell

Miller named in initial 21 man squad, ECW not selected though.

Miller or Edgell at full back.
Sinfield to drop out.
Then a prop and 2nd row to drop out through rotation.
