I would have Grix in the side in front of Waterhouse

Now that it is looking like Lee will be available for the Semi what team should TS play.

This was the team I posted on Sunday & a lot of you said no way should Ratch be left out.

I can see why you say this because Ratch is class. But Ryan & Bridgey are better Centres, Richie is a better No 7 & Brett is better at coming into the line at the right moment to give the final pass to our Centres or Wings. If we were to put Ratch on the bench then we would lose a forward spot such as Ben Currie or Coops.

Its a real dilemma

Hodgson
Riley
Bridge
Ryan
Joel
Lee
Richie
Hilly
Mickey H
Woody
Trent
Super Ben
Grix

Moz
Carvell
Monas M
Ben H

I understand FB but I'm in the 'We can't leave Ratchford out camp'. If Ritchie is fully fit and plays Bert to miss out for me Stef at 1

if the rumors about Hodgson having doubts about coming back after that blow to the head are true, there is no way he should be brought into the team for such a big game.

I would rather if push come to shove play Ratch than Riley. Ratch will be in the 17 that's for sure. His ability to find a hole and burst through it will ensure he's in the squad. We're a more dangerous team when Myler plays and we play more on the front foot and at speed.
What a dilemma to have.

Forgive me but didn't Brett play against St Helens after the Widnes game?

Riley?? bit harsh WW

I concede that certain players can cover more than one position, but, that's a kick in the 'ginger nuts' too far for me

No

as harsh as it may sound, if all are fit then a back line of:
Hodgo
Atkins
Ratch
Bridge
Monas

would be very solid! not too sure how Atkins' positional sense as a winger would work but that would be one hell of a back line. Might be too big of a risk to try that now though.

My post is based on the need to defend well and go forward at pace. I'm not giving Riley a bashing here and don't want to be I internet bullied but I just feel he's lost his rawness and at times switches off in defence and runs across the line of defenders as opposed to running forward. This is just my opinion. People don't rate Trent Waterhouse at times but I do, it's the beauty of opinions. There like we've all got one.

You play Ratchford ahead of Bridge. Couldn't be simpler really.

I love Ratch & think he will be a massive part of our team for years to come but Bridge is currently a better Centre

Bridge can be too much of a liability for my liking, prone to silly mistakes and stupid penalties. For me Ratchford is already a better player than Bridge in any postion.

In my opinion of course.

And to even suggest leaving Ratchford out of the side is mind boggling.

I'll tell you now, 3 forwards and a back on the bench next Thursday.
