I'd go with....

Elliot Kear
Jamie Foster
Matty Blythe
Adrian Purtell
Luke George
Lee Gaskell
Luke Gale
Manase Manuokafoa
Matt Diskin
Adam Sidlow
Dale Ferguson
Jay Pitts
James Donaldson

Jamal Fakir
Danny Addy
Tom Olbison
Chev Walker

Still think that Gaskell is exposed at full back and would be better utilised at stand-off, even in the absence of Kearney.

Kear to FB, with Foster back on the wing. The two Adam's (O'Brien and Henry) should be nowhere near the squad, neither are good enough defensively for this level of opposition.

Last time around, England and Hill bossed it down the middle and this time they have Richie Myler directing the play so we need a big pack and backups to stop that happening again.

The wording of the email is interesting, as it refers to O'Brian replacing Kafusi who misses out due to being cup tied, rather than because he's no longer playing for us. Fingers crossed that means we've got him on an extended deal because he's really been a boost to our pack

I'd be tempted to stick with the same lineup as last week. Perhaps swapping Walker and Donaldson at LF. I'd assume Walker will have a stint at prop and Addy will move to 9 when Diskin goes off after an hour. Adam Henry to take the final bench spot. Foster misses out again for me.

Gaskell
Kear
Blythe
Purtell
George
Addy
Gale
Manuokafoa
Diskin
Sidlow
Olbison
Pitts
Donno
Subs: Henry, Ferguson, Walker & Fakir.

The same could be said about Foster.

But you've chosen Addy who's missed more tackles than anyone else. Plus he's woeful at hooker. I think it will be exactly same as last week, but with O'brien on bench to spell Diskin. Looks like we're going to continue with Walker at prop which baffles me. Donno needs to start from first minute too.

I can't see them going for Asotasi at full back and then Anthony England on the wing. d040.gif

With kaufusi cup tied we either go with walker at prop or use one of baldwinson or bates who are both relatively inexperienced. Walker gives us benefit of experience plus gives us options at 2nd row and in backs if an injury occurs so makes sense to go with him for this game. Wouldn't play him at prop if all four regular props are available.

I'm sure I read in the Huddersfield Examiner that we now have him on a week to week basis. I believe that was the case with Mulally aswell, when we had him of course

I've heard this quite a lot, but I personally think Foster is a better option than both those. His main failing is that he's very poor under the high ball which teams tend to try to exploit.

That said, he's not been found missing nearly as much as Henry has in the games he's played.

My issue with O Brien is that he just cannot tackle someone on his own, he clings on for dear life and then just hopes someone will come in and finish it off. Just not good enough at this level.

Sidlow to replace Kaufusi at prop, and bring Henry onto the bench. I'd like to see Ferguson do more minutes than last week.

Who says I'd play him at Hooker? Pitts played the role last week when Disko went off and seemed to do ok.

Addy might have missed more tackles but he's also made a hell of a lot too. In fact, statistically he's probably been one of our strongest players. He's in Bulls top 5 for Tries, Try Assists, Tackles, Marker Tackles, Tackle Busts, Attacking Kicks, Carries and Clean Breaks.

That said he's also top 5 for Missed Tackles, Errors and Penalties.

I think we did perfectly fine without Foster last week. He is absolutely awful in defence and not much of a option at FB, like you say he is no good under the high ball. Gales goal kicking didn't look too bad either so I'm not worried about that.

Hope our boys take some inspiration from Leigh! If a part time team can push Leeds like they're doing, no reason our boys can't give Warrington a damn good game!
