A good one to have!! has some big decisions to make in the coming weeks in terms of who he selects to play, think he has learned something recently where you give a guy a chance and they are hungry for a place in the team, taken injuries/bans to do it mind.

Simpson v Grix

Murphy v Broughton

Ellis v Wood

Cudjoe to return so hughes may go back into the pack but to replace who?! Fairbank should get another run next week, Hughes has been very good.

not to mention ferres returning. Lawrence, Bailey, Roberts all in the mix

hungry players fighting for a place, good luck anderson !

Connors place has to be at risk which is a shame as he has grasped the chance most want Simpson to have but I think a Murphy or Cudjoe will push him to the sidelines. Broughton has done well too but alas I think he may suffer the same fate too.

It's far too cushy for those props with 4 or 5 making the 17 every game.

The hard part will be who we keep and let go in October but it's a nice headache to have and how Baloo handles it could define how his time in charge is seen in years to come.

backline of

simpson
mcgillvary
cudjoe
connor
murphy

which would mean broughton missing out for me. could be connor though if broughton keeps place.

i think our props are fine, they are doing their jobs well. we are laying the platform for the half backs its just our attack is predictable at times.

would think bailey will leave, fairbank too unless he produces till the end of the season

I was speaking generally and a bit sarcastically not about our props but if your a full back for example it's an in or out choice and alas someone has to miss out.

Simpson
mcGillvary
cudjoe
Wardle
Broughton

Hughes and Fairbank in the back row

Can't drop Broughton after his game on sunday any more than Simpson or Fairbank

Connor has been too erratic imo

No Murphy!!!!!!!!

Along with Brough he has been a stand out performer week in and week out.

Simpson
Jerry
Cudjoe
Connor
Murphy

Drop mullally for Fairbank.

Mullally is prop and Fairbank a second row. I also think Mullally strong running is a useful weapon. On the contract front says in today's League Express that Kopczak is negotiating a new contract and hoping to stay.

Mullally did better in defence yesterday- but only carried the ball 6 times, seems he's not a hard worker.
Kopczak put a great stint in yesterday- 35 tackles (missed 4) top carrier of the ball and biggest avg gain in our forwards and second highest metre maker behind Jerry. The contract could be why he's performing like that now!!!!!
If it was me I'd play Simpson,Jerry,leroy, Murphy, broughton

I thought Koppy had a good game yesterday. It also crossed my mind that he was playing for a contract.

I would have said not to renew, but yesterday he showed he's still got it and is worth a new contract. We just need him playing like that every game.

I know fairbank is a back rower but he can play front. He's big enough and certainly got the aggression and courage for it.

One good game in 5 is not good enough though is it, Over a season he is average, I agree he can turn it on when he wants, If he put in the same effort as Eorl then he would be some player. I think we could regret letting Mullally go. It's a shame he didn't get more game time.

if you have a good game you play next week if you have a bad game you miss out that's how it should be and should apply to everyone

I agree we could regret Mullally leaving but he was out of contract and he wanted to leave.It was his decision not the clubs.

Kopczak has played well all season. The stats for Him Crabtree and Huby are very similar so keeping all three and adding Rapira would be good business.

Neither Leroy nor Murphy should play this week. The i-pitch is not the place to come back from a knee injury and the stand ins have done the job.

I disagree 40, team selection depends on training,fitness and playing ability amongst other things.If Broughy has a bad game would you drop him? I prefer to leave team selection to the coaches .Theres a lot of things that goes on behind closed doors that us spectators never know about.
