As far as we know Coyle, Finnigan & Goulden are defo missing so without them I would go.

1. McNally
2. Maden
3. Littler
4. Gardner / Rowe
5. Pownall
6. Ridyard
7. Beswick
8. Ostick
9. Penky
10. Parker
11. Hopkins
12. Thornley
13. Aspinwall

14. Brierley
15. Spencer
16. Duffy
17. Taylor / Briscoe

I know a few will say Aspinwall in centre but don't think rowls has any intention of him playing there as only mentioned Rowe & Finnigan as replacements if Gardner injured. Duffy has the size to compete with a big Fev pack & will do a good 2 x 15 mins spells whilst other 3 props play rest of game between them.

11.Briscoe
12.Hopkins

14.Penk
15.Ostick
16.Taylor
17.Thornley

I`d go with that team, with Rowe on standby to replace Gardner if he`s injured.

Good selection but I would switch 7 and 9.

13. Nico

16. Ostick
17. Taylor

If we have a prop that can only do 2 x 15mins a game, then I’d suggest he needs to get fitter before he’s up for selection.

Therefore Taylor and Briscoe on the bench.

Hope parker and Gardner are fit for Sunday, Start Bob at 7 Penk at 9 and bring brierley on just before HT .

Gardner will have to brush up on his defence if he,s passes fit not been at his best defensively on our last few meetings with Fev..Mind you his attacking skills ain't too bad ...

Gardner will not be playing.

Someone who goes to the gym he works at told me this evening.

Swinton badly exposed our left hand defence with Rowe/pownall last week and Fev would ruthlessly exploit it.

We need to stiffen up in that channel so Asp or Maden for me with Rowe on Littler's wing if needs be.

Can't see Brierley starting at 7, think Beswick with his experience and creativity would be better suited for this one. Ryan to come on from the bench and score with his first touch

What's the point in having an out and out 7* sitting on the bench and moving 9's around. Get him played from the off and let's see what he's made of and how much of an impact he can have on a full 80.

*For the time being...

1. McNally
2. Maden
3. Littler
4. Aspinwall
5. Pownall
6. Ridyard
7. Beswick
8. Hopkins
9. Penkywicz
10. Parker
11. Briscoe
12. Thornley
13. Taylor

14.Brierley
15. Spencer
16. Ostick
17. Duffy

Not a bad team that but Nico would have to be in somewhere he always plays well

Aspinwall to Centre:
McNally to 7 / FB
Brierley to FB / 7
Penky 9
Beswick SR/LF

Job Done !!

Beswick should NEVER play SH !!

I'd pick a front row for 2 different halves of play too.

Once they level P.O road, teams will start to become more competative there !!
