it gives valuable team info to the opposition.

Our 19 man squad only has 18 men in it



Welham, Philbin, AoB, Crossley, Ryan, Haggerty, Kavanagh, Clough, Howarth, Blythe, Addy, Charnock, Pitts, Mellor, Sidlow, Clare, Moss, Thomas

At a guess they've forgotten to include Williams, who played last week but isn't listed in five changes

Hope he plays Clare at centre rather than Blythe -_-

Moss
Ryan, Clare, Welham, Williams
Thomas, Charnock
Sidlow, OB, Clough
Pitts, Haggerty
Addy
------
Haworth, Philbin, Crossley, Kavanagh

Spoke to Rohan about this yesterday and his official line was why give the opposition information.

Aaaah, on the email it mentions Walker replacing Walshaw but doesnt list Walker in the 19

There are 18 listed in the e mail but in the main body of the piece it says that Johnny Walker replaces Lauaki
I suspect the wings will be Clare and Ryan and the centre will be Blythe

1. Moss
2. Ryan
3. Blythe
4. Welham
5. Clare
6. Thomas
7. Charnock
8. Clough
9. O'brien
10. Sidlow
11. Haggerty
12. Pitts
13. Addy

14. Howarth
15. Kavanagh
16. Crossley
17. Philbin

Tempted to go with 5 props again as it will be physcial and Walker provides a bit of mongrel.

Think its pretty much guaranteed Howarth and Philbin will feature so doesnt really leave space for a fifth prop unless we stick Clough at loose or maybe Kavanagh in 2nd row? Cant see how we can avoid playing Blythe with squad named, only real option would be Mellor in but hes never looked comfortable their IMO.

True but I would rather have Mellor there than Blythe!

So I take it you weren't prepared to do like the BBC in wartime and put out some false info to lead them down the garden path?

Haha and I though Rohan never missed a trick!

Did you go on to ask his opinion of 19-man squads and their announcement schedule?
