Problem for me is that T Briscoe in particular will get picked no matter what his form is. I’ve been a supporter of his on this board but I don’t think he’s been great this year so far.'"
Tom wasn`t great the year before either with Luke the better of the two.
The fact he got a 2 year deal is beyond belief.
Both the Briscoes are not good enough with maybe Luke just edging it as a back up in case of injuries.

| If Liam is fit he will play in the halves alongside Eastmond.
So don`t expect much from our half backs this Sunday then.
Broadbent
Tom Briscoe even though it should be Luke.
Hurrell
Mellor
Handley
Sutcliffe
Eastmond
Mik
Leeming
Prior
Walters
Martin
O`Connor
Dwyer
King
Thompson

Something like this won’t be far off. I just want them to throw the shackles off and chuck any hopes of structure out the window (‘square pegs round holes’ and all that).
Interested to know what agars method of addressing the low energy he says he identified early last week in training and hope he’s found a better method this week.

As much as it disappoints me, I wouldn’t be surprised if this correct given the news A Sutcliffe highly unlikely to play and Liam is. Handley at full back just doesn’t sit well with me.
Others from 21 I reckon will be Edwards, Gannon, O'Connor and Hall.

I’d rather see Broadbent at fb and mellor centre and either briscoe making way for various reasons. Play your better players (Handley) in their strongest positions giving the limited halves some strike to aim for.

I hear you but with Handley at fullback and Broadbent at centre there is only Handley out of position. Broadbent deserves a chance in his favoured position. Also Handley surely can't be as bad as he was last week.

| Less pressure on the FB if the defensive line is in order.
Definitely an argument to play Broadbent at left centre. Hasn’t really put a foot wrong unlike some others.
I still feel one or two more senior players should be stood down for a week, based on form so far this season. Sure there are reasons for it but it’s hurting the team.

I dont think we have the luxury to stand down one or two with our injury and suspension list.Idealy i would stand down T Briscoe and Martin but who is then going to kick the goals.Lets get some bodies back then we can rest a few.

Eastmond's a great goal kicker, and I think would be good for him...

I know what you mean though the position Broadbent has done relatively well in (albeit not where his future is, and granted i want to see him at centre all things being equal) has been fullback, more than can be said for Handleys game there. Also a key role for a fb is their communication and Broadbent has been widely commended in this area. Our defensive line needs a strong voice directing them from FB on the evidence of last week. We will see what happens but i believe with Handleys shaky return after a long time out would benefit from familiarity as well.

Get what you’re saying mate but on the evidence this year, a youngster in place of Martin for example is just a flat upgrade to the team.
I thought Martin went really well for us in his first year, but he looks nowhere near the player who scorched down the middle of Saints to score that great try.
I don’t know what other niggles players might be carrying but one thing we can be guilty of as a club is selecting on name rather than form.
