Bateman or Olbison in place of Hargreaves (Kopczak moving up to start) if we need more mobility.

No Jeffries and no Diskin for me. Prop situation fluid depending on form - especially keen to include Burgess, but I still think that he would be best served by occasional games.

(# Olbison/Addy/Donaldson/Burgess/Hargreaves/Briggs/Jefferies/Platt/sykes)

From what we have, which at the moment is probably the 25 man squad, this is the team I'd go with, I think it pretty much picks itself apart from the bench option spot and the halves (Briggs and jefferies could easily come into the reckoning) but I still think we are 1 prop short in depth and I'd like better outside back cover than just sykes and platt.

I would agree with that choice Duckman.

It only highlights some of the weak points in our squad though. We're still a quality Prop light IMO and I'd still like to see a winger added and one of Sykes/Platt moved on.

Agree with all that. Not a bad first 17 if the attitude is right but if we get a few injuries I'm worried we'll be back to struggling in the bottom 4.
