Quote HamsterChops="HamsterChops"Purtell out with a leg injury. Gaskell still not back. Johnny Campbell left out. Still no Kavanagh.
Squad: Danny Addy, Dan Fleming, Paul Clough, Kurt Haggerty, Steve Crossley, Tom Olbison, Dale Ferguson, Joe Lumb, Jay Pitts, Oscar Thomas, Kris Welham, Adam Sidlow, Adam O’Brien, Danny Williams, Ethan Ryan, James Clare, Mitch Clark, Omari Caro, Alex Mellor.
Ryan at centre, Clare to fullback, Thomas into the halves with Addy?'"
Thought Thomas looked lively when he kept turning up at acting half last weekend, certainly better than his defensive work at FB, and worth a shot in the circumstances. Thought he did well under the high ball too after his initial mistake, he seemed confident and looked safe, though it's fair to say he wasn't really pressured.
Maybe starting again with Joe Lumb at hooker and then Adam O'B to come on and do what he does best? Good to see Ethan Ryan too, looked after properly this kid is going to be a seriously good rugby player.
