D Clark, Thewliss and Philbin come out of last weeks squad. Hopefully not too much up with Clark & Philbs. Possibly using the 6 point gap to third to rotate the squad a little?

I was thinking this week it might be a good opportunity to give austin a week off, depending how bad his leg is. Daz deserves a break as well.

Matty davis(who is fast becoming the new Simon grix for me) to start at 9

The problem is FMC if you rest Austin who do you bring in? A half back combo of Dec and A N Other would see half this board spontaneously combust.
Good spot on Davis/Grix. Fast becoming a favourite of mine.

Good point. He was hobbling around for most of last week's game, and had his thigh strapped from the start. Short-term it wouldn't be great to be without him, of course, but long-term it would surely be beneficial to give him a week off (or however long it takes) and get him properly right. It would be interesting - and probably painful - to see how we went without both Austin and Daz Clark!

Austin is getting mom on one leg.
Not sure where we go if we rest him. Under 19s?

Clark, as Hooker, gets through a lot of work in both attack and defence. He's been doing a lot of minutes every game so he needs to be rested at some point and against Hull KR, at this point in the season, makes a lot of sense. Austin needs to be monitored. With Ratchford out our only real alternative is Livett so maybe he (Livett) needs a place on the bench so that we can take Austin off if we build up a commanding lead?

I doubt we'd get a commanding lead without Clark playing!

I'm a big fan of Davis myself. Not in grix's league yet mind you!!
But if Danny Walker isn't going to start when we rest Clark, when is he?

I'm with you Moe on both points. Walker needs a run out and based on Thewlis's performance last week the younger lads in the squad can take encouragement that Price will give you a chance and you should try your damnedest to make the most of it.

TBH based on limited viewings of him at Widnes I'm quite surprised how little time Walker's had
