Judging from the 19 man squad, you would assume Halafihi is playing in the centres again. Wonderful.

James Bentley
Cameron Smith
Johnny Campbell
Dane Chisholm
James Davies
Vila Halafihi
Sam Hallas
Joe Keyes
Liam Kirk
Jordan Lilley
Iliess Macani
Jon Magrin
Scott Moore
Mikolaj Oledzki
Ross Peltier
Brandon Pickersgill
Colton Roche
Ethan Ryan
Oscar Thomas

I'd go with this:

Thomas
Campbell
Bentley
Ryan
Macani
Chisholm
Lilley
Magrin
Moore
Kirk
Smith
Roche
Hallas

Oledzki
Peltier
Keyes
Davies


Bentley would be a far better option in the centre the Halafihi. He's quicker, a better defender and is used to playing out wide.

Not sure what's up with Caro?

Despite Halafihi at centre and Macani on wing, it's actually a strong squad the rest of it. Good to see Bentley back. Missed him massively and interesting to see Moore in there. Damage limitation this game, but squad strength wise, we look pretty good for the crunch game against Dewsbury. Confidence wise, different story.

Just to rub a little salt in the wounds too, Danny Addy & Kieren Moss named in KR's 19 despite having been out for a few weeks prior.

Ben Cockayne
Liam Salter
Ryan Shaw
Jamie Ellis
Nick Scruton
Shaun Lunt
Maurice Blair
Danny Addy
Jordan Abdull
Zach Dockar-Clay
Robbie Mulhern
Andrew Heffernan
Joe Wardill
Jake Butler-Fleming
Joe Cator
David Hodgson
Kieren Moss
Ben Kavanagh
Josh Johnson

No doubt we'll get stuffed but glad to see Bentley back. Hopefully Oakes or Mendeika back for the Dewsbury game.

Or at least if not, it would be nice to take a centre on dual reg from Widnes. Someone like Armstrong or Chamberlain. Understandably I doubt any DR available this weekend with the double SL fixtures. We can't keep playing Halafihi there.

Good to see Moore in their. Has his case been heard or adjourned again?. Agree about Bentley in centres or maybe pickersgill? Anyone but halafihi.

Chamberlain had been playing up at Workington and from what I've heard from their fans they weren't that impressed and would have rather seen a local lad playing. Still, at least he'd actually be playing in the right position rather than us using a Hooker there.

I agree With Bullseye - the obvious guy to cover at centre is Bentley

It's only one position wider than he normally plays, so he shouldn't get caught out of position. He's a solid defender and a more than useful attacker.

It would be madness to go with Halahifi over Bentley (which probably means its guaranteed to happen...)

Out of the squad announced I would deffo play Roach in the centre. He has played there before is pretty pacey and can tackle. Would beef up that side of the pitch and leave a spot in the pack for another forward.

I think the game will be a lot closer than people think imo. The game aside good luck for rest of the season bradford.

KR's biggest danger is that they come on here, read all about our team and decide it's going to be so easy they'll spend the game showboating. We might get away with just a 30 point drubbing if they do.

I honestly do think Chissy will make a difference to our team, in the longer term, and maybe inspire a bit more confidence but whilst that will be very very welcome, even from the outset, I suspect he's not going to turn our (steaming) pig's ear into a silk purse in his first game.

No, it really won't.
The only time it will be close will be up to kick off.
But thank you anyway.
