guessing you mean Arundel?
he's been playing well yes but it's up to Gentle to choose between them, Crooks hasn't played on the wing this year and it's a bit of a risk sticking him there when Crookes played very well v Salford, he soaked up all the pressure put on him by Salford's kickers.
It's up to Gentle I guess, I trust his judgement to pick the right squad. |

Shame for Lineham but the rumoured team is a strong one.
Massive boost IF Ben Crooks is fit.

It's that kind of thinking that came up with a GB side including 4 loose forwards and Horne on the wing.
It's really not better to pick your best 13 players and make them fit, it's best to pick your best available fullback, your 2 best available wingers, your 2 best available centres, and so on, as much as is realistically possible. |

For me i think Shaul could be the difference between winning and losing. Yes we could have Crooks back which is a bonus but for me it's Shaul.
Spoken to my dad about this, his speed and awareness to follow up is what we have been missing since Shaun Briscoe and Richard Horne days.
I've just got a gut feeling he will be dropped.

that's an unfair comparison, Azza has played at 7 for large chunks of his career |

Only if we didn't have a better halfback available. So Miller, Holdsworth, and Horne would all have to be unavailable. I wouldn't play him at 7 if it was just because we had 3 hookers available and 1 halfback missing. |

Regardless, he's still a hooker who only really 'does a job' in an emergency in the halves. I wouldn't use it as a way to shoehorn him into the side if it was a case of us having 3 first team hookers vying for position. |

I'd heard this was a possibility but didn't want to post in fear of being shot down. Good stuff
Be fun if Lineham, Crooks, Yeaman, Horne, Arudral all make it  |

Arundal has a fractured hand. So I would be amazed if he played

Horne at FB seems to be 'too big a risk' whereas Crooks straight back in after surgery seems to be worth consideration.
ATEOTD I bet there's been loads of players who have played at Wembley who have been less than 100% fit but got through the game no problem and been winners. We hear about some that didn't work out (Senior etc.) but would never know about the ones who did. Whoever plays will give it their best I'm sure of that.
