It would not surprise me if Super Ben got a ban this week, which would mean that we go into the Hull game missing Super Ben, Ben Harrison, Morley & Lee.

Ratch did fine in the halves on Friday so he will continue their. To replace Moz at Prop I would use Coops, although Trent played there against Cas I don't think he is a natural Prop & we would already be missing one regular 2nd rower so don't add to that problem, so draft in either Tyrone or Ben Currie.Tyrone has the experience & Ben is going to be class over the coming years so either would be fine by me.

My team assuming neither Super Ben or Moz plays would be.

Brett
Riley
Rhys
Ryan (although he may well be looking over his shoulder now Bridgey is close to fitness)
Joel
Ratch
Richie
Hilly
Monas
Carvell
Trent
Currie / Tyrone
Grix

Mickey H
Coops
Woody
Tyrone / Currie

I think that would be my pick as well. It will be interesting to see if Tyrone is named over Currie. You could make arguments for both. The coaching staff look to be very cautious in giving him exposure however, so if I were to hazard a guess I think it would be Tyke that plays.

Am I the only one looking forward to seeing Bridgey back in the team?

Definitely not, I suppose it's just a case of 'out of sight...' at the moment. Plus the fun of seeing Evans develop and mature.

Depends which Bridge comes back. The fully fit centre of a couple of years ago who was right on his game or the one struggling for fitness who lacked pace and threw daft passes out. I like him at his best so fingers crossed he can fully recover.

Whats wrong with Moz ?

.

He is just not fast enough to play at centre these days.



Look at Morley / Catalan thread

i think we have enough options without bridge,cant see him coming back soon or making much of an impact if he does,its all up top with him i am afraid.

+1

It would be great if he did come back in the form that he had a couple of years ago..the player that tore Huddersfield a new one! What a major boost that would be...almost like a new signing!

Bridge could be a quality Loose forward as I don't tho k he will displace Ryan Atkins and Rhys Evans has not done a thing wrong.

There was me thinking that it was a knee operation he had in the close season. Some very short memories on here. Class player who will put pressure on the current centres when he returns.

Fully fit Bridgey would be great competition for places in the backs BUT he wouldn't solve the immediate problem for the weekend, which is in the pack - 1-7 pretty much picks itself.

We really need Carvell and Trent to have stormers. Pack/Subs I'd go for would be :

Hill
Monas
Carvell
Trent
Grix
Coops

Wood
Higham
McCarthy
Currie

With regards to Bridge being a loose forward - could be interesting and he could do a job there, but would you put him in front of Grix? Grix is doing a great job for us at the moment - great workrate, good reading of the game, creative and hard working.

Bridge back at centre - would it be right to drop Evans for him at the moment? Evans is getting better with every game and I dont see what more Bridge would bring to that position.

That being said a fully fit Bridge of old is a quality assett to a team and you'd want him to play - selction-headache-tastic!!

he didn't put much pressure on anyone towards the back end of the season did he?
his last start was away at london mid august and before you say he was injured,he wasn't,he was due to have an operation at the end of the season anyway.
good player when he is in the right frame of mind.

Can't see Bridge getting back into this team any time soon. Evans for all his flair is a tackling machine as well. Thought he handled Louis Anderson superbly last Friday.
