I know that the club partnerships are a passion of yours but both the Yeaman/Brsicoe and the Ablett/Hall partnership are left wing and centre and in this case I think there is justification to switch Hall to the right wing and play a natural centre inside him in Reed

I would have:

Tomkins
Hall, Reed, Yeaman, Briscoe
Widdop, Chase
Graham, Roby, Morley
Westwood, Heighington
Ellis

Ablett, Carvell, Peacock, Sinfield


Sinfield to interchange hooker, we need the extra big man in the pack at this level and would have liked to have seen Mossop in the team

Reed and Yeaman are both left centres though.

why do we need an interchange hooker, when Roby can play 80mins to the same intensity every game. There is no need to take Roby off the field at all, so it gives us the opportunity to have an extra prop/half back on the bench.

Tomkins
Hall, Reed, Yeaman, Briscoe
Widdop, Lomax
Graham Roby Peacock
Heighington Ellis
Sinfield

Carvell, Morley, Wilkin, Chase

I'd agree Roby seems perfectly capable of playing to a high standard for 80 mins. Also if he does need a break move Sinfield to hooker for 10 mins until Roby comes back on again.

What makes everyone think Ablett will be picked as a centre? He has covered very well there for us this season but he is also the best 2nd row forward (IMO) we have at the club. He is very skillful and looks dangerous whenever he takes the ball up. I think he will be used (if he gets used) off the bench as an extra forward.

It’s a good point and would certainly allow for another attacking option off the bench alongside the typical three forwards

No Westwood in your team?

Fair enough. I've only seen Reed on the left.

maybe Westwood over Wilkin

Cant see room for either of them to start with Ellis and Heighington in the squad.

Sinfield at 13 isnt ideal - but dont think there is a viable alternative.

If Roby can play a good 60-80 minutes, I think Sinfield is wasted on the bench

For me, with Sinfield, you either start with him and have him bossing the team for 80 minutes or you leave him out. This is his natural game

How the hell Bailey made the squad over Mossop I have no idea...

Because once you get past the hatred and the villain act, he has actually played some very good stuff this year.
