I'd be amazed if Walsh plays more than 20 minutes - I'd start with Hohaia at 7 and use Walsh coming on to rotate Roby.

Regardless, it's great to see Walshs name back in the fold though! Christ knows we need it!

Id go

Lance
Tommy
Turner
Dawson
Swift
Burns
Wilkin
Walmsley
Roby
Amor
Lms
Flash
Thompson

Walsh
Mose
Richards
Sav

If Burns is back after breaking his cheekbone just a couple of weeks ago, he must have astonishing healing powers. I want what he's eating.

Makinson
Swift Ashworth Turner Dawson
Burns Hohaia

It seems as though they are hairline fractures, Roby had a similar thing couple of seasons ago he just waitied for the swelling to go down and played on after a couple of weeks.

Now if its a football premiership player it would be a phantom of the opera mask for a few months.

Thats exactly the way I would go, with Wilkin replacing Flanners when Walshy comes on.

The mask may not be a bad idea.

May add to his villain image.

.

I agree with your logic that it would weaken other positions to play him elsewhere.
It's the least of evils though I can see him being awful under Brough's bombs. On the plus side if we get more injuries in the game he is a useful utility player.
In any event he will make the 17 for that reason.

Today is going to be an interesting game (ps bring your jumper, it's drop 8 degrees in the last 2 days. Also a bit of rain predicted)

Personally I've not been to disappointed with the losses. Some of those could have been wins and as I said previously that was with all first choice backs injured or out of positon, bar swift.


So for me confidence is high, but will the losses have taken it out of the players in terms of mental attitude.

We are still 2nd in a tight league. For me a win regardless of class will do, get that winning mentality back and then the attack will start to come. A loss today may really effect the players heads with Leeds on the horizon next week.

As you can see in the rest of the league once you are in the mix with the rest a few wins and losses can mean the difference between bottom 3 and top 5.

Not as slow as Turner

ALL OF THEM could have been wins. We didn't throw the towel in once and despite being hopelessly outgunned we could still have pulled off three victories - just with the bounce of the ball.

Which is more than can be said of Millward's teams at the very least.
