At least one big surprise in team selection if what i'ves heards correct.

Langers might start prop.

Kearney as fourth prop?

I think potter will want BK at fullback, therefore the halves will be Jeffries and Herbert. royston therefore will miss out. Hard to believe, but I think Potter will want the best option in the spine and BK running off the halves is hard to go past. shad will be the one to miss out which is a mistake as he should be in the side but I think Whitehead in the has fixed a lot of the leakage and Potter will want the best defensive side he can get.

thats what I've heard.

If shad gets dropped potter wants sacking

Wouldn't go that far but certainly an interesting decision if true. Maybe a case of causing as little disruption to a winning team and still. Accommodating Kearney.

Don't talk rubbish.

Briggs missed out when he didn't deserve to be dropped and we've now won two on the bounce.

It's a shame that Royston will miss out tomorrow but Potter knows what he's doing.

Why is it rubbish mick? why would you drop by far one of our best players in recent weeks? yes kearney to come in defo but he shoudnt just knock shad out of FB position. It should be BK and Jefferies in the halves. Oh one minute do you want super herbert in instead? whos clearly RUBBISH! Royston to keep his FB position and Kearney in the halves. If worst comes to worst it should be kearney full back and royston at centre. But my god dropping him? thought you knew your rugby league mick but clearly not

Herbert shouldn't be playing that is correct but Potter dropped an inform Briggs and it looks like he's going to do the same to Royston if what I was told last night is true.

In an ideal world Royston should take Whiteheads place, with young Elliot either going to the bench and then forcing Olbison out of the 17 or start him alonside Elima and bring Sibbit in off the bench to cover 11 & 12.

I never said Royston should be dropped but if he is then we have to respect Potters call to do so.

yeh but why should we respect a call of him dropping our best player? it doesnt make sense

We don't know if he's carrying a knock for a start. It could just be squad rotation or potter may think the players hes picked are better suited to this particular game. It's not always ad straightforward as just playing your 17 best players.

mat i understand that but if herbert gets the nod potter has some questions to answer as hes clearly not gud enough

Yep sack the coach, there's a plan for the future. Maybe while your at it you should sack the next one as a premptive move, just incase they drop a player too.

Really glad that you are waiting in the wings to answer the call when Potter moves on. You clearly have considerably more coaching experience than him, and would not dream of considering your emotions regarding one specific player ahead of what selections and structure works best for the team. You also have clearly seen what has been happening in training this week, have a sound knowledge of what knocks and other ailments players are struggling with, and have sat down and watched all the videos of both our own players and the Stains players (with most of whom you are pretty familiar). What a replacement coach the club has all ready and waiting to take over the reins! I can't wait!

As Bullseye quotes Wayne Bennett in his sig, it goes something like "If you start listening to the fans, you'll soon be sitting with them".
