Wonder why we've done that. To be honest shirt numbers don't mean that much these days, our wingers usually have the number 30 or upwards on their back

Well that is indeed good evidence to prove me wrong.
All I can say is it isn't just Wakefield. Every team I've ever seen play have 2 as the left and 5 as the right. Even before squad numbers this was the case.

I might put it on a new thread so we can see if anyone has any other examples.

You actually read the opposition line up as though you were facing them from the other end of the pitch

1
2 3 4 5
6 7
8 9 10
11 12
13

Re: Squad for Huddersfield : Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:39 pm  

Some mad selection only going with 2 forwards on bench and only 1 prop looks like kelpi be spending some game time at prop also wouldnt of played baily this week

Re: Squad for Huddersfield : Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:47 pm  

I hope that bench is forced.

Re: Squad for Huddersfield : Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:48 pm  

Two ways of looking at Baileys selection

He’s likely to be up against Oliver Russell who’s similarly at the same age and development as Bailey himself so possibly a chance for Connor to show a bit more.
or
With Huddersfield still being depleted and playing a young half, should Trinity leave Bailey out and go with an experienced half who might get on top of Russell

Re: Squad for Huddersfield : Thu Sep 17, 2020 12:51 pm  

I like the team actually.
A lot on Bailey but this is a good game for him to shine.

Why would Kelepi be spending time at prop when there’s no 2nd rowers on bench?

Westerman will probably do a stint there like last week where he was very effective in getting plenty of second phase from offloads...it’s a brave call, especially with Battye playing his first game in months...hope we don’t lose a forward early or we’ll be up against it!
