They are already talking about the game on their forum. They have to play Quins yet . come on the Quins.

Agreed, Roberts runs the ball back extremely well.

Alot will depend on wheather Deacon is back. I've got to be honest I thought our defence was alot better due to his absence but he does tick us over in attack so it's a tough call. I'd like to see us back Roberts if possible with a place because the guy won't get his confidence and form back by keep being brought in then left out of the side. I thought Charnley was excellent last night and he obviously walks a place in the side but i'd be tempted to put him over to that right centre spot.

Id put sam at 1.
amos to replace goulding (hes been a bit up and down so far. and of course if either amos or charnley dont play well, then daz comes back in)
finch on the bench if he's fit.

i wouldnt even put deacon in the squad even if he says hes fit. for such a big game, its too big a gambke - espy given the physicality of wire. an extra week off can only benefit his recovery.

How about Sam back at 1 and Roberts on the bench - then he can come on to 1 and Sam can swtich to 6 if needed.

Too much messing about.

This.

He did fook all last night. Get rid!

Roberts is a big risk under the high bomb, dont know why the giants never tried it in the 2nd half would just bring sam in and drop roberts.

I think that's a bit unfair. I watched the TV coverage this morning and it really didn't show just how good those bombs from Brough were. Sam's had his fair share of missed bombs too, remember (he was shaky at Salford, particularly).

Some people have some short memories, any fullback would have struggled under those kicks last night. It was only at Salford Sam dropped a few at fullback that were nowhere near the same quality as Brough's kicks. Should Sam be dropped to? IMO Roberts runs the ball back better than Sam at fullback. However when in attacking position Sam comes into the attacking line better than Roberts but by no means should that mean Roberts should be dropped completely.

Yes i agree sam had a bad game at salford but ended up getting man of the round award so im expecting the same for roberts

ok i'll be the first.....

amos to stay at FB with lockers at 6

seriously. the wire pack will bounce sam all over the shop if they get near the try line in a one on one position. lockers had a beast of a game last night and it was certainly a captains notch or whatever the saying is!

wire will not adopt the same "bombing" tactic as much as hudds as they know they have a better attack in the go forward and IMO amos will be able to handle it just as well as sam, simply with stronger defence. ok we lose the brain of sam but with lockers playing like he did last night who cares!

if anyone i'd drop marsh, goulding to centre, amos on that wing, stick with lockers at 6 and sam at FB then we have the luxury of getting amos at FB with same going to 6 and lockers interchanging with the likes of farrell if necessary. BOOM!
