Parker sadly is out till next season.



We go with what we have. You never know Hoppy might be back. And TG is not out for sure he is doubtfull.



Whatever team we are able to turn out the lads will play their hearts out.

Have you spoken to someone who says he is only doubtful ? According to Mark Taylor he is out. If he is, I fear for us. Out of all our forwards, I was desperate for him and Taylor to be fit. Of course, we will give it our best shot, but I feel this could be a significant blow to our chances. Let's hope we can find a solution to this probable selection headache.

McNally

Pownall, Maden, Gardiner, McGilvary

Ridyard, Beswick

Spencer, Nicho, Ostick

Taylor, Littler

Briscoe



Thornley

Gallagher

Duffy

Brierley



Duffy and Beswick need to do a spell at 13, and we need to play off the cuff and at pace.

Maden's like having another forward on the pitch with his drives but if he moves to centre & his opposite number is Yere my other concern with regards to having no forwards is his drives may not be a effective over the 80 having to run at & tackle Yere. Just when you think you can juggle things around but still be effective then we get hit with another blow

Well I can't argue with the players because that's all PR has available to him apparently.



I would start with Duffs at scrum half for 20 mins then bring on Ryan. Second half the same.



Beswick to do the first 20 as hooker then replaced by Nico. Second half the same.



This one is now a big ask

Beswick can work effectively for the full duration of the game imo I'd have him playing LF freeing up interchanges

Agree with that but if Hopkins is fit put him on bench instead of Deano.

Littler needs to remain Centre to wrap up Yere and keep his eye on Tongagai.



Our defence out wide is not the best. If Littler goes SR, Sheff will run riot IMHO.

I know what you mean Snowy & I agree if that was possible but what else can we do if Goulden is out too?

You start Brierley, Beswick LF, Duffy Hooker and rotate Nico at SR playing Dummy Half.



We dont need size agaist Sheffield , just guile. All the pack will be fine.



Sheffields defence is poor out wide too. It forces us to exploit it.

Quick hands and ball out to Pownall, hes on fire atm.
