Briscoe to centre and Lynne on the wing, after the Saints game.

Crooks is miles away from the first team and would getting murdered by Meli/Shenton.

Turner would seem the obvious choice.

Crooks against Saints ha ah ah ha ha ha ha the term mullered comes to mind....Turner end of

Aye...Turner is a defensive player isnt he.......He'l play but dont rate him at all.

They gotta start somewhere, remember Yeamo against Saints at the Boulevard, with Newlove running riot. Hasnt done yeamo any harm.

We are not going to win on Friday anyway so i dont understand putting the op off. He was rubbish against Wakey anyway, for the now obvious reason. Turner is rhubarb and will be gone at the end of season. Theres no mileage in playing him at centre.

Also whats the difference in Horne playing out of position at centre, this accomodates Ellis in his rightful position, rather than him playing hooker. Either way, it's one positional change.

Yeaman will play but putting Crooks infront of Turner is plain stupid. I assume you haven't seen him play this year ?

Scott - You obviously don't understand my reasoning for this. I'm not saying Crooks is better than Tuner now, just saying there is absolutley no mileage in Turner.

We got the wrong lad from Salford, both Myler and Ratchford are class players, we got the rubbish.

Don't think Myler's that good, personally. Mainly a poacher in a high-scoring team.

I can see what you are sayimg and would have liked to see Crookes play, but I haven't seen him play that much so if people who have seen him say he isnt ready, then maybe he isn't.

Gentle's main job is to pick the strongest side to win games and if Yeaman is out and he doens't want to move people about then it has to be Turner,

Hopefully Yeaman will play on Friday, the have his op missing games against Widnes, cas and Bulls.

In the long run Crooks will be the better option of course but he isn't ready.

Myler is a support player and Ratchford has started the season well.

He wasn't that bad in a low scoring one either.

Myler isn't a bad player by any means but he isn't amazing either. I think Ratchford is the better of the two, I wish we could have signed him.

Wasn't bad no, but still just a poacher. Don't think he's up to much at opening a defence. Of the 28 first choice halfbacks in SL, I can honestly say that he wouldn't make the top 20 for me.

Turner wants to play back row and has trained there all pre-season. Would be just as unfair on him as it would moving Whiting. Maybe we should move Briscoe in one and play J.Briscoe/Lynne/Lineham outside of him. I expect Turner to play centre though.

Except for the fact that Whiting is getting a game in the back row and Turner is not. I'm sure if he was asked whether he'd rather play centre or not at all, he'd choose to play.
