Yep. I think it will be 2 of Wilkin, Swift, Dawson or Wheeler to miss out.

I'll be disappointed if Savelio doesn't get a run out.

How would you fit in Dawson, Makinson, Swift, Hohaia, Wheeler, Percival and Turner, bearing in mind Wellens will be at 1?

From that I'd go:

17. Paul Wellens
2. Tommy Makinson
3. Jordan Turner
22. Mark Percival
5. Adam Swift
24. Gary Wheeler
7. Luke Walsh
8. Mose Masoe
9. James Roby
28. Luke Thompson
11. Sia Soliola
13. Willie Manu
12. Jon Wilkin

10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook
27. Greg Richards
33. Andre Savelio.
6. Lance Hohaia

Wellens
Makinson Turner Percival Swift
Hohaia Walsh
Masoe Roby LMS
Soliola Manu
Wilkin

Wheeler Richards Savelio Thompson

Amazingly, that's our 8-13 starting first choice pack ... Apparently ...

Hold on, where's Josh Jones?

If it was up to me LMS and Dawson would miss out but I think Savelio will.

Taking the blame for last week?

Doubtful, I think he's highly rated by Brown (and rightly so). Must have a knock surely.

17. Paul Wellens,
2. Tommy Makinson
3. Jordan Turner,
22. Mark Percival,
5. Adam Swift,
6. Lance Hohaia,
7. Luke Walsh,
27. Greg Richards,
9. James Roby,
10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook,
11. Sia Soliola,
12. Jon Wilkin,
13. Willie Manu,

8. Mose Masoe,
28. Luke Thompson,
33. Andre Savelio.

Wheeler and Dawson to miss out for me.

We are weakest in the pack from all accounts so a back on the bench is a luxury we can do without. Ram them with forwards. If there is a problem in the backs we will have to play a second rower at centre.

I was tempted to go with Dawson ahead of Turner given Turners run of form, but I've no idea whether he can play both centre positions equally.

I put wheeler on the bench. It's not to have a back on the bench, I'd use hohaia in the same way the pie eaters used Leuleui a couple of years ago, by bringing on wheeler for Roby and moving hohaia into hooker. Gives us opportunity to rest Roby and have cover should problems occur in the backs...

Can't say I'm massively disappointed by the omission of Josh Jones as he was you best player by a country mile at our place. Has he lost a bit of form or is he injured?

But can the remaining forwards do enough work??

Mose can turn it on when he wants, but will he?
Those who like LMS would not play him at prop.
Savellio from all accounts has to play in the academy as he can't do long minutes?
So can Richards carry it on his own?
Surely there has to be more forwards to give us a fighting chance.
Roby will just have to suck it up like he has all year for the last 3. Until we get some go forward, resting him will just mean a weak pack with a weaker hooker for 20 minutes and from all accounts a weaker 6, in Wheeler.

That's why I would go for all out grunt upfront. If they can at least give 20 minutes intense work from 5 of them, it should see us through the game.

Roby in his best form for 60 minutes is better for us than the opp killing Roby but having the rotation option in the forwards?

Highlights here for anyone who missed the game. The 2nd try in particular was very good. superleague.co.uk/sltv/slhighlights#
