Yeah i heard Hicks is injured but not sure for how long? Any idea? I was gonna have purdham also but he out injured. I think L'Anson is a weak sub but my options were a bit more limited i think Tom Briscoe should score few tries and it was between him and Reardon. Reardon looks good going into the new season but no idea how he will go whereas Briscoe should be able to hold his own.

If it fails there are always transfer!!

7th in the league, so far so good! LS14 Rhino 1 point in front of me!

What relavence does the bench have?

They score points the same way as the starting 13. The idea behind an interchange is to make selecting a team a little harder IMO.

Still haven't quite worked out which way to go on it, more defencive players or offensive but your better off having forwards who play 80 minutes.

It seems to me the big points are in the forwards, as they spend most of the game driving the ball up field. But it is good to have a few prolific try scorers....
