Quote: PopTart "I'm not a massive Owen fan but he was right in front of me when he made the big tackle on BJB and I was very impressed.
He's done enough to make me think he should keep his place.
I understand the point about Johnstone. I like his attack but Smith seems to have gone off him after the Hull KR game so he clearly has some things to work on. We really need his speed though. I think I'd play him against Hull KR just to track Dixon.
If I had to drop a hooker to accommodate Godinet it would be Moore. He brings a lot to the defence in the middle but he makes some poor decisions too.
And Walker had a great game against Salford so I wouldn't drop him either. I think I'd leave Ali out for now. (much as I love him) and go with the more structured team.'"
Only reason why I feel owen should miss this is because just to give him an extra week to get him fully ready I felt he was targeted alot by the opposition due to the time he has missed also I feel that Tupou's experience could help get Johnstone over easy.
I agree with what you are saying but Moore and Sio had lacklustre games for me there was far too much dummy half runs by our hookers which left us with slow play the balls due to forwards jumping in trying to get the ball way and some occasions it led to errors for example Scruton knocking on.
The final part I completely agree with.
