Thursday Night/Squad Rotation.... : Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:25 pm  

On the back of a good win, is there any need for JD to continue using his 'squad rotation' system?

My only thoughts on the matter are:

1. Richard Jones looked good when he came on but as it was his first gmae back after a long period out is he fit enough to back up just 5 days later?
2. The only change i'd make is bring coleman in at 6, JD to 13 and drop Nicholson......Can't say i'm his biggest fan after all!

Anyone else?

JD said last week he was not going to be doing this any more.
He said he was going to play his strongest team on Sunday.

Hutch and Benjafield pulled out late with injury so it depends if they figure in his thinking.

Buster's red card hasn't been dealt with at Red Hall yet, 1-2 game ban recommended according to the charge sheet.

Could end up with Coleman and JD in the halves and Ryan Smith at Hooker.

Stick with a winning team. Jamaine can cover as hooker if Buster is ruled-out.

Keep Ryan at scrum half as he's found form again there. He was one of the few who played well at Oldham; pity that no-one ran-off his breaks.

Nicholson is a 'must' as he's found his form again and is running strongly.

A few headaches for JD but he must not let sentiment creep in. WE MUST WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't expect Jermaine to play 80 minutes at hooker though can you?

OK, who 'hooks' for the seconds? That said, a 'hooker' is no-longer a specailised position as it used to be. So just bring someone in who can play and tackle well.
