I would give McKinnon longer unless 100% right. I am not a fan of bringing Yeaman back in for Turner on the left as I think Turner has done some things that Yeaman doesn't/can't do in his spell at left centre. However I would rest Martin as he made a couple of defensive errors against Bradford but more so because he has been struggling with successive head knocks - plenty of games to play in the next few days. I expect Yeaman will be given his auto-place in the left centre which would see Turner move to the right (unfortunate for him IMO).

Doubt Moa will be back so it's between Green and Kent for the last bench spot. Pitts must play due to his relative level of experience at SL level - we were too inexperienced on the bench against Bradford but survived it just.

Tactically with Ellis at 6 I would kick early and long and make KR work it out from their line. There are question marks over their forwards' stamina but not over their power so best to be playing at their end of the field as much as possible. If we manage to get the go forward required (and it is an IF with the forwards that are missing) I expect us to spread the ball a fair bit and attack their centres and Dobson in particular.

No chance Horney will be on the bench.

I think we need Ellis at 6 for his kicking game. Keep Turner at right centre because he doesn't deserve to be dropped

If McKinnon plays then I expect Gentle to start with Horne at 6 and bring on Ellis to spell Horne or Houghton

Bowden/Pitts

We can't expect Bowden to keep playing huge minutes, he's only just broke into the team. I would have whoever misses out between him and Pitts on Friday play on Monday anyway.

Turner isn't being 'dropped', he's just being moved positions for the good of the team's rotation and strength. He can come on for Aspinwall/Lynch/O'Carroll and have Ticks move up to front row if needs be.

If Horne is at full back, and Ellis at 6, then I think we may need to have Nicklas on the bench to spell Houghton, as it is a big ask to do 80 in both games.

I know we dont have an abundance of wingers and friday maybe not the match to try it but what would people think about Sharp at Fullback?

Why when we have McKinnon and Horney?

If Gentle puts Sharp at fullback i will rip my season pass up..

No Reece Lyne?

nope

we will find out towards the end of the week if McKinnon, Yeaman and Moa are available for selection but Gentle will probably want to keep his cards close to his chest

not sure when the deadline is for announcing the 18 man squad but i'm guessing it's thursday

Don't stand a chance then, Without him we won't score the 60 points needed to outscore FC.
