I'd agree with that. Harsh on Laithwaite though if he's the one to make way for Trent. Can't see anyone else making way though!

Why would TS change Rhys with Ormsby?

i would leave out Riley before Laithwaite on form.

Well why would he not???

I would want to get Evans in, if not for Atkins then for Ormsby. ..
Yet I touched on this last week.
TS doesn't reward recent form. He sticks with his nuclei and brings back players into the team that were part of that nucleus before they received an injury or rested.

Evans could make player of the week team whenever he gets a chance to play but that wont sway TS.

So that was why I asked the question.

There is a rib injury to Bridge, he may cover right centre or he wont play is my guess.

Why is Paul Wood still out? What was/is his injury and how long approx before he returns?

He had a knee cartilage operation in the close season - I think just as he started to train again for this year. He is very close to a return with Smith suggesting it could have been this week.

Can't come soon enough either. Certain forwards with a more, erm glamourous background, would do well to watch his style of play, and attitude. When the body can only drive you forward six yards, the heart drives you forward another two.

Ratch in the centres, Russell in at fullback!

Rhys Evans has to play in my opinion

Evans is desperately unlucky to see Ormsby get selected in front of him. He really should play.
