who else we got only Trout an 18 year old kid.

But probably better than all 3.

Lolohea

Briscoe
Watkins
Hurrell
Handley

Sutcliffe
Myler

Peteru
Dwyer
Oledski

Ferres
Donaldson
JJB

Parcell
Singleton
Newman/Trout
Albert

Leaning towards Trout on the bench. If we go Newman and want to rotate a back rower, it will probably mean moving Hurrell infield and whilst he would "do a job", we need his strike out wide. Especially if we can make the most of Tui linking in and using his passing game to get Hurrell early ball.

The other option to get Newman in is moving Tui to 6 and Sutcliffe to backrow with Handley/Watkins/Briscoe to FB. Too much disruption for me. Particularly given Tui's showings at 6...

Interesting few weeks coming up for Newman, injuries aside is he going to dislodge Hurrell/Watkins? Maybe get a chance on Monday if they don't want Watkins playing a second game in 4 days.

not really, we are going ok now and have london at home on monday so would think we have a great chance of picking up at least one win over easter!

us missing gaskell is a big blow for friday though now

Where is walker?

At least Gaskell is missing, that is a big plus for us. Cannot see either JJB or Donaldson starting this game (hope not). Merrin is he definitely missing this Friday, The omens don't look good for Friday. Looks like were stuck in the sh** creek without a paddle. LOL

I would agree,the forwards look very weak.
Fingers well and truly crossed

Trout has to start for mine. Possibly, even move Sutcliffe to 13 and have McLelland at half back.

STOP. PICKING. HANDLEY.

Newman on the wing for me.

A disastrous weekend awaits , it is a shame when all we can do is hope London lose , even Wakey injuries will not be enough for us and Midgets are way in front of us on performance at the moment .

Newman has to be picked, purely for his performance last week. He has earned the shirt now.

Give Newman a chance after his performance in challenge cup and rest Watkins as it's a tough Easter period and doubt his body will be able to cope with it.

That back 3 would not be good enough in the division below

Why Handley is or was up to recently SL top try scorer.
If anyone should be dropped for Newman based on form it would have to be Watkins.

Whilst I agree that Newman had a good game last week and looks like a very good prospect, let's not forget the opposition on that night. That was no result to base any of the changes in the line up.
