Strange how this time last year everyone was pleading for Whiting to be played on the wing instead of Sharp, how times change! The concern I've got with Lyne isn't to do with his game, but more his attitude. Against Wire in the 20's he seemed to put a lot of blame on the rest of the team, rather than taking a bit of responsibility himself. There was a few examples when he was flailing his arms up in the air after one of his team mates made a mistake or took the wrong option, but when he made a mistake himself he seemed quick to blame others. He did alright playing-wise though, not just scoring, but put a few nice balls in throughout the game. I'd start Lyne, give him a bit of confidence going into the game, and let Agar target him, just like he did Sharp at the KC. If things do go a bit pear shaped and he does start to get exposed, we have players who can fill in, but also take a bit of pressure off Lyne.

Could be a long afternoon if we have a winger and a full back who can't catch

Tim Smith can't kick so you should be ok, although he's been better in recent weeks.

I hope we get a result, because im not too keen on the table as of last night, now the dobbins are close behind.

Ok, so we have a game in hand, but not an easy one.

Cmon Hull, show us different that you WANT this one!

If Horne starts at 6 now that Whiting is available then I'd start to doubt PG selection policy. Horne was ineffective to the extreme last week and senior players cannot think they can simply walk into the team.

Quite. Test for Gentle to see if he puts his money where his mouth is regarding seniority v form. I'll be very surprised if Whiting isn't at off half tomorrow, mind.

Yeah i agree, they are all replaceable!

Horne is on a steady decline in my opinion.

Hes been a good servant to the club, but not cutting it anymore in my eyes.

Bearing in mind that this is possibly Russell's last game for us, would it be prudent to put Horne immediately at fullback tomorrow instead? Start as we mean to go on, so to speak? He's probably safer under the high ball.

the only sensible thing to do!

Horne in defence, Russell in attack? Or straight swap at 6?

Whiting must play off half. I was thinking more Russell on the bench.
