who deserves to be dropped to allow hicks into the team?

grix?

probably riley

Has to be Riley.

If it was Grix or Bridge then we would have a centre spot to fill.

But if its Riley its a straight swap.



For me the line up against HKR should be.



Richie (already becoming one of the first names on the sheet)



Hicks

Bridge

Grix

King



Monas

Briers



Morley

Clarke

Carvell



Westwood

Louis

Vinnie



Subs

Ra

Woods

Harrison

Higham

yeah, but could play king at left centre with riley and give grix a chance in the forwards

Why should we have to drop anyone from a winning side when every player played their part against Wigan and nobody put in what you could call a droppable performance ?



I`m a firm believer in "nobody has a devine right to any shirt", people are saying the player that should be dropped to make way for Chris Hicks is Chris Riley, on what basis should he be dropped when he scored a well taken try at a key time in the game last night and he returned the ball well and did very little wrong ?



You have to be careful that you don`t send out the wrong message to players, it will be interesting to see what Tony Smith does when Chris Hicks is fit again, you can see him bringing Chris Hicks back into the side but it would be a bit harsh to drop anyone after the Wigan game.

I didnt think Ben Harrison deserved to be dropped to the bench, think he is a workhorse and is a great asset in the 'arm-wrestle' opening 20 mins. Would prefer to see Vinnie off the bench to give a bit of an impact and add an extra dimension. Like the way TS used Lauititi at Leeds

ye vinny had a great game, but harrison is much better from the start at least we have options now as we have't had this problem in a long time. interesting what he will do with johnson aswell

Riley is playing well imo. Keep him in team even if its bench

Makes sense to drop Riley, but I'm a big fan of Riley and would like to see him somewhere on the team sheet.

Grix looked half injured at times on Friday anyhow, treatment on the run on a couple of occasions & such so I guess there's half a chance he could be carrying a niggle.



I think Tony will jig our backline in response to the opposition. I think Hicks will be first choice anyhow, because of his goal kicking, and the fact that him & Bridge will be looking for some continuity in that partnership. As for the left, a bit like he pitted King up against Gaskell Mk II on Friday, I think he'll look at the opposition, and take it from there.

That is one very decent looking line up.



How the hell are we stuck down in 10th place ?? Man for man that is as good as anything in Super League.



We now have competition for places as well - something we didn't have under previous regimes.

Minus the time Lowes had in charge, was is pretty much like when your boss isn't in at work and the next in line plays the 'I'm a chilled out guy' card & you sit on RLFans all day. (Don't ya ?

)



Anyhow, exclude that, our form under Smith will be somthing like 3rd/4th. We're just playing catch up, bit like 'Arry at Spurs.
