Playing wise i would have similar but would have Lunt in the seventeen instead of Finnigan.

Also why play Brown at centre he has not played there all season. He will be playing stand off.

I'd go with something like:

1. Brett
2. Leroy
3. Bruno
4. Fatz
5. Dodgy
6. Brown
7. Robbo
8. Mason
9. Moore
10. Jacko
11. Wild
12. Jammer
13. Fulton

14. Griff
15. Eorl
16. Fooey
17. Raleigh

However Brown last time decided to go with experience and omitted Bruno at centre for Jammer and he may well do that again. That could see Lunt then come in IMO and let Fooey play a back row role instead of a Hooker role and also gives a bit of versatility and cover for injuries during the game.

He is a cracking centre, it mixes things up a bit and to be fair, that centre spot is a very tough one to pick imo.

Lunt is a good player, but I think Fooey is our best hooker at the moment.

And I wouldnt have picked Finnegan if Kirmond was fit...

Hmm, maybe Bruno at centre, Brown at 6, and Fulton in the 2nd row...yeah maybe

ooh I am glad I am not a coach!

Mathers
Hicks
Bridge
King
Riley
Clarke
Briers
Morley
Monaghan
Carvell
Anderson Louie
Westwood
Harrison

Anderson Vinnie
Cooper
Rauhihi
Johnson / Grix

Thats the best we can do at the moment

Higham
Carney
Wood, P

All out injured.. Vinnie Anderson and Clarke both didn't finish v Wakey but whether thats a precaution I don't know. King and Hicks havent played since Wigan CC Semi so again unsure of their fitness levels.

Griff & Eorl as our impact forwards do a great job on a tiring defence. Lunt interchange hooker for Moore. fiaumu coming on to use his step later in the game.

I think TS will go with Grix at 6 with Clarke as a sub but that will mean pne of Cooper, Rauh, Johno or Harrison to miss out, On form Rauhihi should miss out but if he goes for experience he will drop Coops which will be a shame as he is having a fantastic season thus far
