Patton & Brown in the Halves, start Clark, Gidley on the bench, Dwyer in the reserves for me this week.

Arguable our biggest game so far and in the near future and you would chose to rest a top earning senioir player in this game?
Gidley can have next week off if he is that knackered!

A fair shout

Dwyer didn't have one of his average games by any means vs Wake, blew a big chance did the lad.

And if you want to make kick off make sure you are away for 3pm at the latest if you are driving!

This is why Hull away on a Friday night is out of the question for me.

It's a fair point I guess, but we would still have two decent Half's and two good hooking options in the 17. Plus Saints the week after which I'd argue is equally important for which we be missing Hill.

I think it's also fair of me to say Saints will be greater disadvantaged than us come the derby.
We're not in a position to rest players yet. We can start to do that when we are in easy rounds during the CC which is near upon us.

I saw their match against Widnes who seemed to be making a lot of ground in the tackle (even Houston) and only Walmesley presented a forward threat for Saints. But they are a significant better team with Roby playing.

Morgan Smith is back from injury and played for the reserves at the weekend. I fancy he will certainly give a bit of competition for Dwyer, plus he is an organising half with a kicking game.

I'll be leaving around 3.30. If I'm making good time I'll stop for a brew and break at Ferrybridge as its generally fine past there.
