with anderson and gleeson both expected back for next week what changes do we expect to be made to the team?

Personally i thnik blythe deserves to keep his place at loose as his work rate was incredable for his first spell.
Gleeson will replace penny hopefully and push johnston on to the wing. but that leave one person to be dropped from last nights 17.

I agree, i like penny but i agree. Jonno on the wing with gleese centre

Who played yesterday?

Riley
Hicks
Gleeson
Johnson/King
King/Johnson
Briers
Monaghan
Morley
Higham
Rauhihi
Landerson
Westwood
Vanderson

Bridge
Carvell
Wood
Mitchell

If all are fit mind, I'm sure someone will let me know if someone won't be available for next week

How the hell anybody can advocate Johnson at centre or wing after yesterday's mauling by a second rower is beyond me

I really hope they don't drop Reily. He actually earned his place last night.

Only one change needed from Wire and that is the coach.

Maybe Clarke will be back too....

Bridge needs to come in for Briers until we sign Myler from Salford.

Inside knowledge, Gleeson wont be back for a month or so. If Reardon was fit next week he wouldn't make the 17 in my eyes after Riley's performance last night, he showed maturity and composure way beyond his years

I have to agree on Riley, the lad should be starting every game.

If Reardon was fit next week then I would stick him on the wing to help in get back into the swing of things for a few weeks before we throw him in at the deep end at full back again

Plus the way Riley played last night means he cannot be dropped, Top performance from the lad

As one of his biggest critics over the past year or two I am delighted that he has come good and hope to see this improvement carry on!

Bridge to full back, Riley on the wing and Penny dropped.

Assuming we picked up no injuries, and nobody will be back...

As long as Riley continues as he played last night, then the fullback position should be his.

Johnson is no longer a back, and the sooner Gleeson returns and PJ can return to the pack/bench the better.

Penny has become many peoples scapegoat for inadequacies elsewhere, but I don't believe he deserves to be dropped.

Sadly although King is still failing to deliver, there are currently no better options at the club unless he is moved onto the wing. (I would love to give him a run outside Gleeson when he's back).

I've all but given up on believing Monas is actually a halfback. IMO he should be the starting hooker with Higham coming off the bench. Bridge and Briers should be the halfback combo. If he doesn't like going back to the hooking role then I'm sure a release could be negotiated from his contract leaving him free to go home and freeing up a chunk of cap to spend elsewhere.
