Quote: Rogues Gallery "I would only have one of French or Thornley in Thursdays team v Hull and the one who misses out could play in the reserves v Bradford on Friday.'"
I think the choice will come down to either Singleton or Partington.
Thornley to start on the wing with French on the bench wouldn’t surprise me at all. If Thornley is fit I’d be amazed if he isn’t in the starting 13. French and Marshall on the wings is too lightweight against a team like Hull.
Personally the 4 I would omit would be O’Neil Miski Shorrocks and Isa.
There is no way Isa will be omitted but for me he’s done very little so far this season to command a starting 17 position. We haven’t got a 13 in the entire squad but for Thursday I’d rotate Smithies and Partington at 13 even though in principle I’m anti a prop at 13.
Their front row will dominate therefore, for me we need to compensate elsewhere physically to give us some go forward in what I’m pretty sure will be a decent contest.
