Quote: Chris71 "As you say if Hoy & Clifford are back then they have to go straight in as our halfback pairing as Litten has a earned rightfully another game at FB. Hopefully Savelio is fit and comes back in the 17 in place of Lane as Griffin for me has been outperforming him. Brown again stays in the 17 and Evans remains out the 17.
Big question for me is what to do with Lovodua, leave him out altogether or have him at 9 with Dwyer? Just don't think Houghton can cut it anymore and certainly not for more than 15-20mins at a time. Is Cator an option as an interchange 9?
Taylor will no doubt come back in to the 17 if fit again
Litten
Swift
Sutcliffe
Carlos
Mitch though probably be McIntosh if Mitch isn't fit
Hoy
Clifford
Taylor
Dwyer
Satae
Savelio
Griffin
Fash
Brown
Sao
Cator

I'd go with that, Litten has to stay at 1, I'd add Balmforth to the bench, but don't see that happening, if not I'd have Lovodua at hooker from the bench, might as well give him a chance there.
I'd have Cator at 13 too.
Mitch has to be winger if fit, if not play Scott there, can't go with Mcintosh, I thought he was poor last season, seems to got worst this year, just can't see what he offers, a bit like McNamara, not sure either are SL standard.
Big game, Hoy, Clifford, Savelio and Mitch back, gives us a slight chance to an inconsistent Hudds team, no chance the week after Nd going to Wakey on the back of 9 defeats I really wouldn't fancy us, too much pressure.
