Come on Barry open your other eye,JC has to play his part in the Wire revival.

Nailed on he was going to get it. After Friday he'll have been ref for this fixture 5 times out the last 6. 8 from 13 since the start of 2013.

Without Jones-Buchanan and Watkins enthusiasm that right hand edge would be even worse, McGuire on the inside and Handley/Briscoe on the outside are all over the place.

Shooting out of the line regularly is a schoolboy play. Nothing at all beats a straight line in defence. The only reason for shooting out is when the defence is shot already and there may be more hope in clattering a player as they get the ball. If you do it regularly any half decent half back will use the inevitable hole in the line to their advantage.

This edge defence is a bit of a bugbear for me, as it really grates to see dog-legged defences have tries run through them. A straight line that moves forward or scrambles sideways as a unit is the basis of defence in RL. I'm frequently stunned at how such a basic of the game isn't done well in SL.

Same 19 other than Garbutt replacing Alex Sutcliffe.
Big 3 games in 8 days all winnable.

This is a must win game after last week.

Garbutt misses the game again through concussion but will be back on Monday.

That`s some knock to the head the amount of games he has missed.
Baldwinson into the 17 then.

or 3 backs on the bench

This is what I'd go for. Apart from swapping JJB and Ward for obvious reasons.
