Interesting.
We both feel the same about Hobson.
Hope our new 6 is in the mix, otherwise Ridyard at 7, Stanton at 6.
Taylor must start, then move him up to prop, Haggerty on bench, Alstead on wing and Reay at centre.
There thats a shake up.

Bit behind the times here, who is our new #6?

Nobody knows for sure but seems to be overseas.

Reay can't tackle simple as that!

: Mon Apr 20, 2009 11:42 am  

Haggerty? I was struggling with Higson out,and Maden is poor so far.

Haggerty could play there i suppose at the mo its defence we need so we could push him out there thats why even tho i'm not a Rudd fan i would have him in for his tackling alone unless we are going to pull our fingers out and sign somebody before thursday!

could we not take Karl Pryce on loan as a centre before thursday? there was talk about this last week and he was left out of Wigans team at the weekend!

Both Donlan and Higson will be missing on Thursday I understand.

Maybe now Rud will get a chance in the centres to prove what he is worth and hopefully he takes the chance with two hands. I don't think Kelly has much left to change with players (there is some good news on the horizon I believe though ) For Thursday I would go for:

1. Mort
2. Stanton
3. Rudd
4. Reay
5. Maden/Alstead (if fit)
6. Ridyard
7. Watson
8. Morrison
9. Durbin
10. Hill
11. Taylor
12. Armistead
13. McConnell

14. Meekin
15. Haggerty
16. Cookson
17. Rourke

Very surprised nobody has put Meekin in their side, been very solid for us and looks like a real prospect for the future.

Whatever this good news is i hope it comes out quick.

i like Meekin but he should get a rest IF he was 2stone heavier i would keep him in I wouldn't like to see all the rugby knocked out of him playing in a poor side so young.
