Could be an option but then we'd be shuffling the side around quite a bit.

I'd have thought we'd see more of Sam Powell at 9 considering Tomkins hasn't ripped up any trees.

To be honest I'd probably agree with yourself and just put Hampshire in to the halves but I was just responding to that suggestion. I wouldn't be against either but Hampshire certainly looks more of a halfback. I wasn't at the game but I believe he had a corker against Hull and wasn't he at 6?

We're already playing a stand off at full back

Will be the same team as against Leeds apart from Andy Powell making way for Dudson. Wane should have experimented last week and at the last 15 minutes of each half should have bought Sam Tomkins to 6 to run at tiring defenses.

Something Harris did for Leeds Rhinos. We play like a side full of Autism every thing we do is the same as the week before and before that in the League. We seem void if ideas and try scoring is now difficult against good sides.

He's equally as capable in both positions, but he's our first choice fullback and has played his best rugby there. He's certainly more of a fullback than Hampshire is.

Can't believe no one has put Taylor starting instead of Flower.

Also can't believe Burke isn't in at loose forward.

I quite fancy getting Burke in at loose forward. He's an excellent prospect and should add some freshness to the pack.

I'm not saying he isn't a capable fullback, I'm saying his best position (in my opinion) is stand off. Our attack is too predictable so any decent teams can mark him out of the game. If he plays stand off he'll have chance to do something with the ball rather than be a sitting duck waiting to get smashed.

which we desperately need (especially when L.Tomkins comes on...)

Also it was mentioned on here Burke had a death in the family, not sure whether he will be in the squad.

Good debate going on here.
My overriding thought here is that if we do the same as we do every time O'Loughlin is out we will get the same result. Defeat.
We need to change the team around now in order to find a way to win again and for me that means get your best attacking players on the ball more, even if we sacrifice a little defensive steel because of it. Lets go for it rather than just sticking another defender in there and limping out of the competition.

do you think he will play A. Powell or will he be sat out now till next season so he can get more experience in the first team?? really liked the look of him for the past few games when he's played, great try against Hull.

Tomkins
Charnley
Gelling
Thornley
Richards
Green
Smith
Mossop
Micky Mac
Flower
Hansen
Farrell
Tuson

Dudson
Taylor
Hughes
S Powell

That should be the team. Hughes and Sam Powell deserve a go IMO.
