Injuries bring about questions : Tue Apr 07, 2009 6:50 pm  

So now we know Long,Cayless and Lego are all missing just how disjointed will this make us?

Personally i'd like to see Wilkin at 6 again but with Lego missing who covers the back row?
Is Wheeler fit enough? Eastmond has been out for some time,would it be wise to throw him in to a derby?
Cayless missing gives us a headache,do we play Clough at prop? who then plays 13?

I think Lego being out is more of a headache than people would think.

Thoughts??

Leave Wilko at SO, Gilly at Centre.

Jammer, Bryn, Maurie and Frodsham as props
Clough, Ashurst at SR and Tony at LF

Possibly have Eastmond, Roby, Maurie and Frodsham on the bench, with Wilkin going to SR when Eastmond comes back on. Although with only 2 forwards on the bench, I guess that's probably not enough in a derby.

Wheeler is still out, isn't he?

Eastmond and Dean are back in the 19 but I can't see either doing very much, if anything, given their length of time out, especially Eastmond. He's been injured forever it seems.

It would be a shame to move Wilkin. He played so well, and Pryce also in great form, that to change that combo would be a real pity. I know Potter has said he wants versatility but given what we all think about the Pies and how we have another, oh, about 15 years of beating them to do before we're even, the most settled and best line up would be very good, Mr Potter. Please.

Plus,you have used Frodsham twice there
I think Frodsham and Lomax to miss out.

Wilkin a 6
Big Red,Maureen,Ashurst and Brian front row
Tony P at 13
Gilly in the seconds with Clough
Meli at centre with Wheeler outside him

6. Wilkin

8. Graham
9. Cunningham
10. Hargreaves
11. Clough
12. Puletua
13. Roby
Lomax and Dean to miss out.
I reckon Potter may start Ashurst and put Roby on the bench.
