That's not going to help our first team learn to play under our new coaches style, or give them much of a confidence boost going into the 8s.

I think I would play the likes of Johnstone, Crowther and Jowitt though in the remaining games and the 8s. The only way they are going to get better is by playing.

I'm sure even Jon Snow would disagree with you.

Think Hall shouldn't be anywhere near the 17 for the middle 8's.

Johnstone is our best winger and must be in the 17.

Kirke should be given the opportunity over the next 2 games to show what he is capable of as he did briefly against Halifax in the CC. If BS can get the best out of Miller then hopefully he can with players like Kirke, Mullally, Anderson, Ashurst and Kavanagh.

very good

Pretty sure that anakin will figure in the middle 8s and will probably do a good job, but he is definitely not a shoe in considering the options we have in the back row. On his day he would definitely be in there but needs to find that level of consistency and cut out the errors. So for me Molloy would have the edge as he has been very solid this season.

Looking at the team we are likely to be putting out in the 8s . We will be going in with a very lightly used team with a pack full of players with less than a dozen games under their belt this season. Hopefully this will prove a big benefit playing against some already battered and patched up teams that have been chasing the top 8.
