I'd have thought the obvious half back combo would be Brough at 6 and Hampshire at 7.

Don't see Miller being anything other than first choice stand off. Think the rotation / competition will be for the scrum half shirt. Likely this will start with Brough and Rocky will go to full back.

All you guys calling for Hampshire at FB must be confident he can do the job. I hope he does but if he fails will he be dropped at the first mistake as Max has been in the past?

Chester says in League Express today that the battle for full back will probably be between Jowitt and Hampshire with Reynolds as a possible third choice.

Even the 3/4 line doesn't pick itself really, thankless task for Chester at the Bronco's.

Tbf I think picking Tupou, Reece, Tom, and BJB is one of the easier parts of the team to pick. If one of the centres get hurt Arundel comes in and if a winger gets hurt he comes in and one of the centres move out. I don't think there's much to decide unless you want to change the starting centres - or I've completely forgotten about someone.

Could not agree more, I was just highlighting the strength in depth of the squad and how Chester has some difficult choices to make at full back, in the half back pairings and mainly the forwards, it makes it simple for him selecting his 3/4 line up really in comparison.

You've also got Kershaw who looks about 40 but is only 20 but he can play a bit and is physically up to a few games at SL level. You could also in a super emegency play Jowitt or Hampshire from 2-5. So yeak it's as covered as it can be.

don't be ridiculous, nobody gets dropped for one mistake, if they did, Pauli Pauli would be fullback by round 6
if Jowitt ain't cutting the mustard, he won't play and it'll be down to him, not some arbitrary brainfart in an otherwise unblemished performance.

Said tongue in cheek but obviously beyond your comprehension to appreciate that.
Jowitt was actually dropped, I believe, after CC said he had not played well in one game, can't remember which game.
I hope whoever plays at FB is allowed to settle into the position.

yeah, because it looks exactly like a tongue in cheek post and you don't fawn like a wet lettuce over Jowitt at every opportunity.
I dunno how I could have got it so wrong

duh

From what I saw he didn't play well in most of them. Very weak defensively
