I would play Aiton at 9, Burrow at 7, Mags at 6 and Sinfield at 13. We need Moon back but if he is still not fit I would go with BJB or Sutcliffe in the centre. If Moon is fit we could rotate the wingers to give BJB a game.

If Moon is fit he should play at LC imo and if Sinfield moves back to 13 then Sutcliffe should play 6 with Burrow at 7 Mags goes onto the bench.

If Moon isn't fit and Sutcliffe's back, I'd be tempted by putting Sutcliffe at centre rather than Ward. It's hard to be sure where either will end up in the long term, but I think centre is a real possibility for Sutcliffe. Not so for Ward.

Moving Moon to SO doesn't seem a long-term option, since it just brings back our centre conundrum. I'd be interested to see it, but we'd need another first choice centre first.

One word: Ablett

(it also seems Bailey is back off the naughty/not naughty step)

19 man squad

Hardaker
Watkins
Moon
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Leuluai
Peacock
Ablett
Sinfield
Ward
Delaney
Bailey
Kirke
Clarkson
Achurch
Briscoe
Sutcliffe
Singleton

Aiton hasn't been able to train this week due to illness still. Bailey returns and BJB misses out.

Would imagine its Clarkson and one other forward to miss out.

Ok, who's going to get in the 17 but not get on the park this week?
My money's on Liam Sutcliffe.

BJB deserves dropping after that none performance last week.

So after McGuires great performance against a well under strength Saints side he keeps his place?
Burrow to play hooker no doubt for the full 80 and Clarkson keeps his place too?
For the Hall lovers he gets another go to build up his try tally at the expence of BJB who clearly did not sit on the subs bench properly last time out hence why he is dropped.
Wouldn`t be surprised barring injuries we keep the same 17 five days later for the league match.

McGuire - I imagine he'll start yes
Burrow - of course, if Aiton is missing next week (or in the future I wouldn't mind seeing Robbie Ward get added to the squad - would depend massively on who the opponents were though)
Clarkson - don't know, he was meant to be at Hunslet until Achurch was ruled out with a head injury so think he'll miss out if others are fit.
BJB - why have people suddenly developed a love-in for him? When he made the team weekly he was deemed the weaker link of the back 5 and should be dropped to give a youngster like Chisholm a chance.....for some reason some people always think the guy on the sidelines would've had a better game.

Maybe McDermott will pick the strongest 17 he has available to him on both occasions.....what a c**t!

Whilst i do think he should make a few changes between the 2 games, the possibility of him not doing that actually depresses you I find way more alarming. You should try enjoy life.

I sincerelty hope you were referring to McDermott as the c**t and not me.
Don`t be too alarmed at me putting a depressed face at the end of my comment.Because if you take those sort of things seriously it is you who needs to get a life.
But at least you can get a hard on watching the WBW over the next two games.
I thought I heard the coach say he would pick players on form unless of course he honestly thinks McGuire has been playing well, which would worry me even more.
So you going to tell McDermott to his face that he is a c**t or do you want to tell me to my face?

What was that you said about taking things too seriously

Not at all mate.
Just don`t like the c word especially if it is aimed at me.
On the other hand if it was aimed at the coach then good for you
