That’s the team I’d pick too, nice to have some competition for places in the team again.

If Handley is fit he has to come in.

Tom Briscoe
Konrad Hurrell
Ash Handley
Mikolaj Oledzki
Kruise Leeming
Matt Prior
Alex Mellor
Rhyse Martin
Brad Dwyer
Richie Myler
Cameron Smith
King Vuniyayawa
Bodene Thompson
Alex Sutcliffe
Sam Walters
Luke Briscoe
James Donaldson
Jarrod O’Connor
Jack Broadbent
Morgan Gannon
Kyle Eastmond

Looking at this, it looks as though L Briscoe, O’Connor, Gannon and Walters will be the ones dropping out.

Broadbent
Briscoe Sutcliffe Hurrell Handley
Myler Eastmond
Oledzki Leeming Prior
Martin Mellor
Smith

Dwyer Donaldson Thompson Vuniyayawa.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Handley at full back. In Agar's interviews in pre-season he mentioned that Handley was operating as a full back in training. He also referred to Broadbent playing fullback as 'makshift' in his recent interview.

Handley
Briscoe Sutcliffe Hurrell Briscoe
Myler Eastmond
Oledzki Leeming Prior
Martin Mellor
Smith

Dwyer Donaldson Thompson Vuniyayawa

If everyone is available in our 21 I'd go with

Broadbent
T.Briscoe
A.Sutcliffe
Hurell
Handley
Eastmond
Myler
Oldezki
Leeming
Prior
Mellor
Martin
Smith

Subs
Dwyer
Vuniyayawa
Thompson
Donaldson

Same thought crossed my mind.

Looks about right that.
I’d keep Walters in and give Martin a rest.
He’s been struggling and off the pace. Clearly needs a break.
Cant see that happening though.

If Martin is rested which i doubt also i would swap Walters with Donaldson.

Think we'l go

Handley
Briscoe
Broadbent or Suttcliffe
Hurrell
Briscoe
Eastmond
Myler
Mik
Leeming
Prior
Mellor
Martin
Smith

Dwyer
Thompson
King
Donaldson

I don't see Martin getting rested until Gale is back. Goalkicking so important and I suspect it's along while since Eastmond has done any.

Handley should play in his best position not fullback. For mine he isn't as good as Broadbent there.

I agree, id never play Handley FB if it was up to me, at the top of my post i said 'think we'l go' not i would go. Handley at fullback is nonsense imo, but the club dont seem to agree, it appears they think he's an option there. Just have a feeling Agars liked what Luke Briscoes done so far and while we'r still down some players and with Myler being the closest thing to a half we'v got available to partner Eastmond, i think we'l go with as much experience as we can and L Briscoe will play wing with one of Broadbent/Suttcliffe at centre.

Unfortunately I think you could be correct

The need for a goal kicker assumes we’ll score any tries....
