No need to risk Leuluai and Clubb should certainly be given a game off regardless of his fitness. It’s an ideal opportunity to give Smith a start and get Flower back in to the first team. I’d like to see Bourouh given a chance also. Looking ahead to next season there’s a bench spot open for a halfback/hooker and he’s a chance of grabbing it, if we get to have a look at him this year.

I’d go-

French
Manfredi Hardaker Hankinson Marshall
Smith Hastings
Byrne Powell Partington
Isa Farrell Smithies

Subs
G Burgess Flower Bullock Bourouh

Very young starting pack that one though. We've had that backfire on us in the past. The young guns are all good enough to be starters individually but I'd be loathe to start them all at the same time. Burgess was good coming off the bench on Sunday and I'd like to keep him in that role for the time being but maybe Flower could do the first 15 mins and then a spell at the end? Failing that, I think I'd prefer Bullock to start.

I thought Byrne was superb on Sunday and it’s probably just reward for him to start the game. I get what you’re saying but if felt the issues in the early rounds were more down to having kids starting alongside ten minute Tony and then kids coming off the bench. I’d probably ease Flower and Burgess back in, so it would be Bullock or Byrne for that last starting spot. I thought Bullock made a couple of errors on Sunday, with a knock on which lead to a penalty and him sleeping for their try. He’s a cracking player Bullock and we need him in the side but I’d like to see them give Byrne that reward of starting.

“If it’s not broken. Don’t fix it”

Only change I’d make is Clubb for Clarke

Spot on

I was surprised Clark missed out and he would be the easy replacement for Clubb but I think they see him in the impact mould so it would mean Bullock starting.

Clubb managed 13 mins 50 seconds in that time he made 12 tackles 5 of which were 3rd man in and made 1 carry

Re: Hull KR : Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:37 pm  

Agree that Bryne deserves a start. Bullock, Burgess and Clark/Flower off the bench.

Sick of these Sunday and Thursday home games now. And we don’t play at home on a Friday for another 5 weeks. It’s no wonder people stopped buying season tickets with games moving around constantly.

The Sunday games are a direct result of feedback from the fans survey.
