So Bowden and taufa in for evans and butler

As there are only 2 wingers in squad taufa and Murphy guess we are going with hall and one of batch Croft or Gaskell in centres

Looks a strong squad.

Hopefully Bowes or Walker on the bench as interchange for Hood . Please not Crowther he is a hard worker but not a 9 .

It's going to be very hot.
So young fit players and ball control is needed.

If we can we should try and wear the magic kit aswell, keep away from that black away kit

Feel for evans he dine nothing wrong other than work hard

There's a photograph, on WT facebook page, of Jorge training in a hat and coat, if he was that cold I could have lent him my scarf and gloves

This is WP. A player does well so I'll drop him, there is no consistency to his selection policy.

I'm sorry but the bloke just hasn't got the vision for me.

The only plus is Brad Walker for Lino.

Walker played well last week and seems to fit better with Miller. He's a much better game organiser than either Miller or Lino.

Sadly if we win and Walker plays well he will instantly be dropped for Lino even if the guy is still on one leg. It's tragic.

Lino is in the squad this week isn't he?

Agreed .. a strange decision unless he's injured.

The Hull KR squad announced looks pretty good in the backs to me. No shortage of nippy guys to run us ragged!

1. Coote
2. Crookes
4. SKD
5. Hall
9. Parcell
10. King
11. Hadley
14. Litten
16. Sims
17. Minchella
18. Keinhorst
19. Dagger
20. Lewis
21. Milnes
22. Maher
23. Ryan
24. Wood
25. Richards
28. Tate
34. Fishwick
35. Royle

It's a bit tough on Evans but loads commented on his rawness. And also moan about playing players out of position.

He's choosing to play an NRL winger, on the wing. Can't see why that looks bad on Willie
Who he plays in the centre is a dilemma. For all the praise of Batch, and well deserved, Leeds exploited him in the centre so it's not like he's a perfect fit.
Croft is a young kid trying his best after injury and playing lower division. Takes time. He made a lot of yardage for us last week and the tries weren't due to him.
Also, I'm sure Gaskell will get grief if he is in the centre but it's arguably his best position.
Personally I'd rather go with one weakend position than shuffling players and making other positions weaker too.

Are you saying you'd play Walker over Lino?

And on Croft......I'm not bidding for him to play but his defence is not bad.

Against Toulouse he attempted 18 and completed 15 which is 83%
Hall was 70% Jowitt 77% Miller 75% and Walker 84%
Evans was 50% of his 6 attempts and only Murphy got 100% but that was only 3 tackles.

Don't think Walker should play instead of Lino but there is a case for having him interchange with Hood . He has a good pair of hands ,can tackle see stats above and can offload in the tackle and has a good kicking game . Unfortunately he lacks pace which is why he isn't picked regularly.
