Think the only question here is does fielden deserve his place? Lets be honest hes done nothing for years now and his performance was the only negative from friday night and personally i'd bring Bailey back and use Mossop as prop.

Phelps
Roberts Gleeson Carmont Richards
Sam Leuluai
Prescott Riddell Coley
Hansen Bailey
Joel

Mossop Feka Goulding Flanagan.

But we all know its gonna be a straight swap Bailey for Flanagan, Noble wont drop his golden boy

I think Carmont may be rested.

In that case it would be Goulding at centre and Bailey to replace Goulding on the bench.

Good call, someone we can afford to rest

Followed By

Well I suppose if it's not Riddell/Roberts then it has to be someone who gets it this week!

Hansens work rate was immense. He played the full 80, and was our top tackle maker.

I was speaking to someone at the reserve game yesterday, who's opinion I really respect, who who thinks that Hansen could be bulked up to become a top class "workhorse" prop forward.

Food for thought?

I agree Carmont should be rested, we really need him for the semi final so,

Phelps
Roberts
Glees
Bailey
Pat
Sam
Tommy
Prescott
Riddell
Coley
Hansen
Flanagan
Joel

Feka
Fielden(isnt gunna get dropped)
Mossop
Goulding

Any news on Lockers injury?

Hardly this week. In this day and age we need second rowers who can do the full work that means take the team forward as well as defend. He doesnt do it. Ive said this all along.

As I said in another thread. Mossop came on and went looking for the ball and took the team forward and during his spell on the field we started to control the game.

Either way having thought about it if Bailey is fit he will probably replace Flannagan which is fair enough.

No chance, he doesnt take the ball in.

Defence is brilliant yeah but when your stuck in your half on the back foot you need your forward taking you forward.

For god's sake Brian!!!!!!!

If we don't criticise Hansen this Week then WHo are we going to criticise!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the fact he carries more ball up per game than Joel and makes more tackles per game than Joel and less errors and less penalties can't you just accept that Joel is flavour of the month and Now it has to be someone elses turn to be scapegoat!!!!!!!!


Sorry just had a quick look and guess what? He takes the ball in almost as much as Bailey and makes Many more tackles!!!!!!!!!

If this had been 6 weeks ago everyone would be saying get rid of Bailey but now again He's flavour of the Month so lets pcik on someone else!
PS

Joel was VERY GOOD on Friday and not having a go just making a comparison to highlight how ridiculous the OP's Statement was.

Hansen doesn't have the impact for a prop forward.

I agree with what your saying Brian... though i would keep him purely for the best dive i have ever seen against leeds... he dove from the half way line

Same team bar Bailey for Flanagan.

I don't want to rest anybody, if Carmont can continue he should. He's a tough bloke, he's shown that on numerous occasions.
