Young bench though. If our starting forwards let the Wildcats pack get on top, it could be a hard night.

They're without Kirmond, Poore and Ali Lau, otherwise I don't think Brown would have named such a young, inexperienced bench.

While we've rested some props, our starting back row is very hard - especially given Manu's surprising Denise performances since he's been here.
Given wa key's absentees, it should be enough.

I'm going to miss this one as I'm away. Shame, as I'd love to see how Walmsley, hand, walker and Greenwood go.

Been interesting see how brown uses the bench because wamsley greenwood haven't be playing long minutes hand is a big lad but will probalary only do about tens mins

Is TP injured or just rested?

Few changes to that team now. Walmsley and walker will start with lms and flanaghan on bench.

Had Raleigh and Tim Smith to that mate, long night for our lads, but never mind.

I believe he's rested???

LMS should start IMO. He's not an impact prop.

Totally agree on this one.

Perhaps not, but looking at the originally posted line up the bench was far too inexperienced.

Bit of size and experience from the bench makes sense tonight, we've seen the pack struggle too many times when the starters leave the field.

Clough is on the bench instead of Greenwood.

7. Jonny Lomax; 21. Tommy Makinson, 3. Jordan Turner, 19. Josh Jones, 5. Francis Meli; 6. Lance Hohaia, 12. Jon Wilkin; 14. Anthony Laffranchi, 9. James Roby, 25. Alex Walmsley, 13. Willie Manu, 4. Sia Soliola, 27. Anthony Walker.
Subs: 10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 15. Mark Flanagan, 16. Paul Clough, 28. Jordan Hand.

Flanagan should really be starting at Loose Forward in my opinion

Just because he is on the bench doesn't mean he has to be an impact prop. Two starting props and two reserve props should be similarly matched or you will get problems at the interchange. Our props will do roughly twenty minute stints each, whether that is first or second stint shouldn't matter too much.
