when fit the pack will line up like

Morley
Monaghan
Carvell
Westwood
Waterhouse
???

Grix/Harrison/Bridge/Cooper

wide open that position this season for someone to snatch it with both hands.

Feels strange that Harrison isn't an automatic choice.

too early to say.

Off the back end of last season that's Grix's spot.

grix for me

except when a bit of extra muscle needed, in which case get harrison in

or if game is deadlocked bring bridge in for a bit of individual randomness in the middle of the park

Keep Bridge in the backs, use Harrison as a prop, Cooper 2nd row until he bulks out a bit more, big Solo too, 'kin hell can we fit them all in?

I preferred cooper over harrison last season. Either way, grix!

Grix for me...good with ball in hand...excellent distributor out wide. He is one of our most improved players IMO..and that's a lot to do with him having a good clear run with his fitness.

How about

Morley
Monaghan
Carvell
Waterhouse
Westwood
Harrison
Grix
Cooper
Hill
McCarthy
Solomona
Wood
Laithwaite

Think we've got a full team there.....

hodgson
j.monas
bridge
atkins
riley
briers
myler
morley
m.monas
carvell
waterhouse
westwood
grix/cooper

the 13 spot all depends on the type of match if we need as many big forwards as possible then cooper or harrison to play like a third prop or if we need a ball player then grix

Brett
Joel
Chris

Lee

Nahhh

Too many out and out backs for me.

Prefer my 'forward' backs to yours.

Woody has a fair turn of speed!!

Not Bridge, get that sod back at centre please.

I think Grix deserves the loose spot, I can't see any way that he won't be in the first choice thirteen next year and he's the right mix of grunt & handling.

I'd start to look at playing Harrison as a bench prop now, so I see him competing with Cooper & Hill. I think it's a big season for Harrison - he had injuries but he never seemed to regain his form last year. At the end of 2010, he was playing for England in Australia.

Solomona wouldn't make my 17 anymore, especially if Waterhouse is a serial offloader.

I agree with most on here I prefer Grix at 13. I think he's well worth of that spot. As for Harrison I would have him on the bench in my 17 every week as he has the versatility to cover front or back row. I know he didn't have a great season with form and injuries but I am not that worried, remember a couple of years ago Paul Wood was in that position and people were wondering whether he would ever be the same again but he came back OK.

I have always been a big Solomona fan and want him in the 17, even if he isn't great every week, when he plays well he's decisive in more games than our other players apart from Michael Monaghan and Briers

I'd go with a line up like:
Hodgson; J Monaghan, Bridge, Atkins, Riley; Briers, Myler; Morley, M Monaghan, Carvell; Westwood, Waterhouse; Grix (Ratchford, Wood, Harrison, Solomona)

Grix at 13 for me but i've said that for ages. Nice to see most people have changed there opinion of him now.
