Bullock or Wood or Holroyd for final spot think Ratchford will 18th man

I'm interested to know which name you look for first in a squad? Mine is Williams, then Vaughan

Similar for me although I'd be tempted to throw Dufty and Fitzgibbon in there at the moment.

An interesting thought - if last week was an audition (based on form on the day) for the final prop spot then there is an argument that both Wood and Bullock get in ahead of Musgrove. It won't happen but I thought they were both better last week.

I`m hoping that Musgrove is one of those players who have an average1st season in Superleague, then come to terms with the different style of the game, living on the other side of the World etc and then shows a big improvement in their second season.

Otherwise he is a waste of a Quota spot.

Just talking with someone that as met Musgrove a few times and he was telling me how big he is close up. So got me thinking he does not make nothing like the metres made after impact Harrison and Vaughan do.

On Bullock he is a bit of an enigma to me, can’t nail down a regular 17 spot but gets a contract extension hmm.

INOUT
Crowthers one of my favourite players but i wouldn't pick him this week, unless it was in place of Musgrove.
Holroyd deserves his spot and Bullock played his way on to the bench last week. Wood was in serious pain so doesn't make the squad for me, it's not worth the risk.
I'm not a fan of what Musgrove brings to the table each week, but he hasn't played his way out of the team, he's just a very Average steady eddie.
Bench for me is
Powell
Musgrove
Bullock
holroyd

The starting 13 is exactly the same as you though

Wrench, Musgrove, Ratch and Wood to miss out for me. Wrench had a stinker last week, Wood didn't seem anywhere near right with whatever he had, and I just don't think Musgrove or Ratch are worth their spot. Bullock was immense last week and Holroyd runs his blood to water.

Going off how Burgess has picked his team each week no he doesn't. Crowther has missed 2 games now so he doesn't have a place to keep does he, and as Burgess has shown nobody just steps back in to the team unless it's to replace someone who's had a bad game.
Bullock deserves his spot and so does Holroyd, Musgrove didn't do anything wrong and Burgess clearly likes him.
If Bullock didn't have the game he did last week Crowther would take the bench spot, but Bullock put in a big display so deserves to keep his spot, and Holroyd had a great game so deserves his spot.
You can't expect Crowther to simply step back in after 2 weeks out.

i can. i reckon he's been rested with a view to being reyt for wembley

holroyd had a great game, but crowther has been having those games every week for most of this year

Fair point on not having a place to retain as oppose to regain, but Crowther hasn't played because he wasn't fit. Burgess said in an interview a couple days ago that Crowther is now fit from his shoulder issue and actually indicated in one quote that he would play...

“We’re fully fit. Nothing’s changed. Jordy Crowther is alright – he’ll play,” he said.

You'll get heaps more out of Crowther than you would out of Musgrove.

you would, unfortunately, we do need some size, even if its not playing top of its game.

Oh 100% mate, As i say Crowthers one of, if not my favourite player but i'm thinking of how the squad has been picked all season. If i was to just pick my bench and ignore previous picks, my bench would be
Powell
Crowther
Bullock
Holroyd

I think the work rate Crowther brings and the fact he can cover Loose, 2nd Row and prop is superb.
I hope he does make the bench but i think it would be at Holroyds expense rather than Musgrove.
I think maybe if Bullock had hit the ground running from day one, Maybe Musgrove wouldn't have had as many games this season?

With a game that could be won on goal kicks ,can Ratchford reasonably not play?
