How does he get game time if he doesn't play?

I would go with

Murphy - (didnt rate this kid on the wing... trial games at full back reports of playing well - would be Blaymire if fit)

George - god I hope he stays fit this year
Millard -
Johnson - Work with Henderson and Gleeson on the left
Gleeson -

Jeffries
Brough

Tronc -
Newton -
Korkidas -
Henderson -
Ferguson -
Morrison -

Moore -
Demetriou -
King -
Latu -

18th - Obst - tough on Sam but I think Latu is the better player.

actually i would always have sam o in the 17 as
1. his performances towards the end of last year were sheer class
2. he can cover 6,7 and 9 with ease as a replacement
3. i just like the guy

totally agree

1 2 and 3 bang on the money.

I'm in complete agreement too. Faced with a straight choice between Sam or Latu I would also consider that coming of the bench you would imagine coaches are looking for someone who can take a clear message or tactical approach out on to the field with them. Over a number of seasons now Latu does not give me the comfort that he is a disciplined and organised individual who could do this however as stated elsewhere Sam has consistently shown himself to be a very dedicated team man.

Sam every time in the 17 if fit!

Interesting that no one is going for bibb, who really should be pushing for a place, agree that jd was poorish at hunslet but he did play most of the game, so would be surprised if fit, he doesnt play. For me u just have to play sam from the bench or the start.

Johnson has been training proving his fitness and played most of game at hunslet - was probably best of fully fledged players - not sure if he has the pace to play in centre - did wonder if jd might feature on wing dropping morton, allowing another forward on bench - probably henderson - whatever happens think the bench will be smal, Tronc to play whole game and one rotational prop - moore? henderson, obst, moore, latu on bench perhaps

J D definately out for sat.
