Donaldson and O Brien miss out.

Gale won't be starting I don't think. Addy at SO for a while, then when Gale comes on he can move to LF.

That's what I'd do. Ease gale back in. Not too sure Evans will automatically feature just because he's in 19 man squad. Has he played a game at SL level for wire yet?. Suspect well wait for a game when we have virtually a full strength squad before we give him a shot of bench. Think he's in squad in case langley a groin injury flares up, given were a little light up front anyway with whitehead in centres and Bateman out. That said how big are Londons pack? Might be that there one of the smaller packs we can give him a run out against.

Mark Bryant - 6ft 3, 16st 7
Antonio Kaufusi - 6ft 2, 18st
Scott Wheeldon - 6ft, 16st 11
Tony Clubb - 6ft 2, 16st 7

Certainly not skinny midgets

Wish we played london earlier in the season, they seat to be getting form behind them and gettin some good results. Kaufusi was a stand out prop the past few weeks.

Could really do with a win against London, especially with wigan, wire, leeds as our next SL games, possible 3 losses there so we have to beat the teams bellow us.

Whitehead and Kear up against the speed and power of Dixon and Melling will be a massacre. Elliot misses tackles as it is, put him one on one in centres against some fast players won't end well

Problem is if we put purtell at we don't have anyone for 2nd wing spot. Don't see an option but to play whitehead at , but pair him with purtell and hope he can cover some of Elliott's defensive lapses. Could have really done with Blythe back, and how far offs platt?, to give us some other options.

Must be honest, that's the first time I've seen the words - 'Whitehead' and 'covering someone else's defensive lapses' - in the same sentence.

It's also the first time I've seen the words "speed and power" associated with Melling.

Speed was at Dixon, and the power to Melling, he is a strong runner lad.
But we could of really done with Blythe I agree. But pairing Bateman and Elliot on the right side could add a bit of strength and Olbison down left with Lulia as he has been. Either way i'm sure we can out score them

Bateman is out inst he?
