Hopefully coming into a winning side there is not going to be too much pressure on him to be barnstorming from day one.

A ten minute run out to get up to speed would be fine.

Really looking forward to seeing him play. I'd start Wheeler but Lance did enough at Salford to get a spot on the bench.

The selection headaches for NB are a good problem to have.

who would you drop for Mose and Wheeler?

Wellens and Laffranchi. Absolute no brainer.

If Wello plays this week it's a joke. It'll prove there was and never will be any intention of him being used as anything other than a sub every week.

Fully agree.

Wello and laffranchi have to make way for Mose and Wheeler. It's harsh as I usually don't like to change a winning team but would be nice to try and get the game won and let Roby have a rest with lance going to hooker

Its a no brainer alright, but will NB drop to of the most senior players?

What's the word on Beaumont. When will he be available?

Really looking forward to watching Masoe play

Are HKR still going to be missing Poore and Weyman?

They are both back from suspension.

I think realistically Wello probably will be dropped from the 17 this week, but I think dropping Laffranchi would be a bit harsh...I think he has looked pretty good in opening 3 games, averaging just over 30 tackles a match and chipping 2 tries in. I'd personally look at keeping Boof in there and possibly use him in the back row (although this would possibly mean Jones missing out this week who has also been impressive).

Looks like NB has got a couple of headaches for selection this week which can only be a good thing

Unfortunately I'm beginning to think that this isn't the case. At the start of the season quite a few people were defending the club and saying things like "Wellens will hardly play" and "he is only there as backup." Then Nathan Brown and Paul Wellens both did interviews and I said that I got the impression that Wellens will still feature regularly.

I know we are only 3 games in but I just get the feeling that I was right to worry and Brown is going to squeeze him in more often than not, regardless of how ridiculous and cringe-worthy it is seeing him run on for the last 15 minutes and contribute next to nothing.

Should be a ding dong up-front, then.

Yeah should be good. They have Neville Costigan too plus Langley is back from injury. I think it'll be closer than what most people seem to think. I fancy us to win but by a similar result to the Hull game 2 weeks ago I reckon.
