Your bench looks ok to me Whiting needs to be on there with 4 forwards on the bench he would be cover for the backs too

Whiting should really miss this week, dont want to risk aggrevating his rib injury. This week off and the following free weekend should see him back to normal

Is he still suffering? If that's the case then that's exactly what we should do.

rlPossibly a hint that it will be Galea over Bowden?rl

"As well as Joe, there's Josh Bowden, Liam Kent and Jamie Shaul who are all training really well.

"They are putting a lot of pressure on our 17 at the minute. I know if we pick up any more injuries or form warrants changes, then they are good to go."

Also, is the 19-man squad being printed places wrong? I only say because the pieces are saying about the absences of Briscoe and O'Meley with Crookes likely to play, but then the 19-man squad includes the former 2 and excludes the latter.

Thought it was strange yesterday when I read that Briscoe was to miss out, but his name was still listed.

Last week Ben looked like a rabbit stuck in headlights when he replaced Jay Pitts, then looked a lot better when he moved to the edges when Gaz Ellis went off, if the squad is healthy then it has to be the more versatile player on the bench for me. Of course gentle could move Westy to play the middle, who would be a coach? but as a fan its nice to have selection quandaries for a change.
