we also have Peterson who i have seen yet to play, Jimmy must have a big plan for the rest of our squad

I thought we had a bit more structure with Siejka and he was definitely improving. Having said that our performances in the last month have probably been more complete. I've gone with,

Mullaney
Uaisele
Blythe
Purtell
Williams
Mendieka
Siejka
Sidlow
O'brien
Clough
Ferguson
Pitts
Addy

Crossley
Lauaki
Baile
Olbison.

I've kept Addy on the pitch as he gives us a bit of organisation and a kicking game. Mullaney is our best full back, Siejka is a scrum half and Mendieka a stand off so in the absence of our best player it might be best to go as close to how you would if Gaskell was fit. . If Mullaney pulls up. Mendieka can go to FB with Addy filling in at 6.

One mistake I thought Jimmy made was bringing Mullaney straight back in when he pulled injured again (against Sheffield?).

I'd go;

Shaw
Uaisele
Henry
Purtell
Williams
Mendeika
Addy
Clough
O'Brien
Sidlow
Olbison
Ferguson
Pitts

Mullaney
Baile
Crossley
Lauaki

Blythe and Siejka miss out. I've noticed whenever we get players returning to the squad they tend not to play unless necessary so that's why I've only gone for Mullaney. We should have more than enough if we stop cocking about trying to score on every play.

I think Uaisele's age and experience helps Henry, Adam certainly seems more consistent and less likely to brainfart.

I can't see Jimmy bringing Blythe in and then not using him. If he wasn't going to play then he'd be at Oxford with the other guys. He'll definitely be in the 17 I think.

Tbh I probably would pick him but I was trying to second guess Jimmy! I'd also be happy to try a Mullaney and Siejka half back partnership but I doubt Lowes would go for that.

I'd imagine that if Siejka is fit then he'll play tomorrow, especially as Gaskell is out Lowes won't want to be playing many games without either first choice 6 or 7

Talking of half backs.....Sammut has left Wakey. Where next ???

Meant to be going to Workington. Although I've heard Leigh mentioned as well.

I never understood why he went to Wakefield in the first place, if stability and security is what drived the move then it was an odd choice. I'd have thought he could look a little higher than Workington though, not sure what need Leigh would need for him but you never know.

Leigh have acquired some higherquality players this season so Sammut would obviously improve them further.

Jarred, even with his known flaws, is an outstanding, SL quality talent, the fact as he was hardly the player Wakey were needing when they signed him doesn't really change that. Behind a dominant pack, in this division he's be a great asset to any side, imo.
