Me too, Turner has been dreadful since the first derby, I'd play him on the wing where his lapses in defensive concentration will be better covered and his pace on the outside can be used more than Crooks who isn't exactly express.

I'd play Lineham.

Possibly, but whenever I've seen him play 20s he's made some pretty basic mistakes, I'd say he needs at least the rest of this season before we think about making him a regular, I'd give him his debut against Widnes, just keep players fresh for the back end of the season.

I'd like to see Yeamo on the right and a better attacking centre on the left. As it happens Crooks is a left centre. Briscoe would score more with Crooks inside of him who us capable of putting his winger away.

Maybe, but defensively we'd be horrendous!!

Normally the opposing side, would attack the right centre more than the left.

This is why,I'd play Yeaman as the right centre, when Martin played as right centre we looked
stronger defensively.

When we played HKR at Magic weekend, he played Martin at left,and Turner right centre,
couldnt understand that one.

Based on what we have, and the 'rumours' - I would be happy with this starting 13 (OK so we wont get Chase & Brough, but we can dream!!):

Horne
Briscoe
Yeaman
Arundel
Crooks
Chase
Brough
Whiting
Ellis
Tickle
Westerman
Watts
Heremaia
Lynch

Subs:

Houghton
Pitts
Mcgoldrick
Bowden

Do alright that lot and good blend of youth and experience? I'm not convinced we need a prop? Let these kids go for it and develop under the guidance of Lynch?

Westermans a better player than Whitehead.

Not from what I've seen of them.

Westerman frustrates me.

Think he has bags of natural talent, especially for such a unit and shows little glimpses of it.

Maybe he just needs to express himself a little more and perhaps just one magical display and he will be away?

He needs to be move back to the second row.

Totally agree, his best rugby was last season when he played out wide.

i think his defence has been very good, just needs to do more with the ball, but maybe being asked to play a role at the moment for the team with a shortage of props, maybe next year he will be used more suitably in the 2nd row
