Miller can kick goals too.

Good. At least we have options.

And Rankin put his hand up earlier in the season. He kicked goals as a youth player.

i did have a similar thought meself 1865.

Same here and the this is what I would do myself, have him defending on the side Hock attacks.

Hock playing isn't a good thing. Yeah gives some stuff away but on his day is pretty devastating and takes up defenders and has one of the best offloading games about

Sounds like Crooks in Colbon out.

Smail's reckons arundel will play centre, although has said crooks could come into the squad as trained with no ill effects yesterday! Personally I'm happy with arundel if it comes to that. Centre for a centre. Whiting for me is a back row only nowadays barring extreme circumstance. This isn't 1.

Problem with that is I think he misses out when Ellis is back, assuming Thompson reverts back to 2nd row.

The 3/4 line looks extremely weak at present, injuries plus lack of confidence really hurting us. There's no genuine pace without Crooks or Lineham (Shaul the only true speedster left) and there is little strike power at all. The binman is doing fine and will get better but all things considered, it's a poor 3/4 line. I think we need Thompson there to give us some genuine threat with ball in hand, someone to engage defenders. It was 'needs must' to put him in the front row but now (to me) its 'needs must' in the back line. I was one of the very few to say he was a good signing at the time and that was based on his earlier stints for Cas on the fringes. I would drop Yeamo in an instant.

Colbon picked up an injury?

Ankle according to Smailes, so it might be Arundel and Crooks (If Crooks passes fit), if not I reckon it will be Whiting and Arnudel.
