The good thing it’s a difficult choice especially with regards to Hood, Reynolds, McNally, Dawson, Brown who I’m sure along with all the other lads will get some game time over the season.

Hood / Pelissier (Cant make my mind up on the two hookers!)
Tickle

But if you asked me again tomorrow would probably change my mind and pick Hampshire, Clare, Hopkins and Brown. And still wouldn't be able to decide which two hookers I'd prefer to be picked.
Good luck picking the team Neil!

Not sure about that. Rocky was excellent at fullback against Wigan.
I still see Riddy and Drinkwater as our 1st choice halves and Bens brilliant game on Sunday (mom in my opinion) cements him as the obvious back up to those two.

| If Neil had seen Hampshire as a half back, perhaps he would have played him there on Sunday?

I would like to see Reynolds and Hampshire at half back on Sunday. We already know what Drinkwater is about so no point playing / risking him. I really want a look at Brown in the full back role as well. He has not been given the number 1 shirt as a token gesture so that would be interesting.
Also I do not want Willie Tonga to state he is not 100% or this or that or what ever feels tight. I want to see him ready, unleashed and raring to go as patience is now beginning to run a little thin.

| Even a 100% Willie Tonga doesn't get in This team brown was very with ball in hand and in the tackle, crookes is what we have been missing in the 3/4's he's got pace and lots of it... Tonga is a liability in defence and never fit, I would of rather kept the worthington than Tonga

But Leyth fans know better C&W, with Australian coaches always asking advice about who should be in their 17

To be fair it's more a liability of a quota spot being taken up If Leigh carry him for another season.I think that's the point being made. Take nothing away from him,his pass to Dawson in the Salford qualifier was sublime.
He does need to get his ar$e in gear now though.

| Contracts protect both sides, or should do. Willie will want to finish on a high, his pre season seems to indicate that.

This is of course when everyone is fit,I've obviously not seen Lachlan Burr play,and I think Hampshire, Clare,Vea,Hood,Reynolds,and I'm sure a few others I've forgot will be challenging them for places as the Season unfolds, I suppose we all have our 17 in mind,and most will be different.
