Sure he's played there before. Not sure who for though. England Knights springs to mind but not 100%.

Played for the knights at stand off, he was also goal kicker and kicked 11 from 11 (I think)

nathan brown is your coach!!

He's going to play with 3 pivots like he tried against Widnes with Ashe, Turner and Wellens.
It will be interesting as to who he gives the first receiver role to - O'Brien or Wilkin. He'll split the other two left and right.

I have just been sat here thinking the exact same thing. I reckon we'll see Wilkin at 1st receiver with O'Brien down the left with Manu and Percival and then Turner down the right with Sia and Jones.

Interesting that makinson is out . Bit of an unexpected line up but wouldn't be the first time he named one side and another walked out. Will see tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm expecting little changes to be honest.

You have a very selective memory Pete. 2011 was just the same, except we had Robes and Graham available for most of it. Wilkin played in the halves during that season too, along with Nathan Ashe. At our match away against Hudds, we fielded a 13 over half of which were our under 20s and Ade Gardner played at second row. That was the peak of our injury crisis in 2011. So we have relied upon noobs before to see us through. The only difference between 2011 and 2013 injury crises is the presence or otherwise of James Roby.

If he is then that is exactly as I predicted. Gardner was utter garbage last week letting in more tries than I can remember yet he will always play, as indeed will Meli, regardless of form.

Surprising team, especially that Makinson isn't playing and Gardner is!

Its exactly the same team I was told yesterday but its subject to change with Brown. Its changed a good few times this year already.

About time we saw what Turner can do at 6 IMO in the circumstances, albeit I would have had a look in an "easier" game.

It's a shame we lose his strike out wide, but I have a feeling Turner at 6 could well be the answer until the end of the season or the unlikely return of a fit Wheeler.

Jones is capable in the centres and on the face of it this move is infinitelyy preferable to seeing Ashe/Lance/Howarth/Wellens at 6.

Good luck to Turner/O'Brien if this is indeed how we line up.
