It's an ok side, backs are good but I'd be OK with Minns at centre and Batch at S/R dropping Crowther (Batch form is better IMO)
HB's picked themselves.
That starting pack is big enough to hold its own with Saints, no excuses.
It's the hooking role where we look vulnerable, Bowes is still very inexperienced whilst to be fair on Kay he's doing well but is still in transition.'"
Pretty close to what I would go for this week.
Jowitt
TJ
Hall
Minns
Lineham
Walker
Miller
Fifita
Bowes
Battye
Ashurst
Batchelor
Pitts
Kaye
Aydin
Whitbread
Tanginoa
Lino has been a big miss early season and I hope he gets back on the pitch soon for us. Hopefully Miller/Walker shows promise. That team is good enough to give saints a challenge. May as well turn up with the aim of bringing 2points back. What a win it would be if the team can pull one out of the bag.
