Pretty much our one to 17 only ashurst unavailable due to ban, suspect batchelor will start abs green to the bench , only question is wether Tom Johnson gets a run out which I understand will be decided after the captains run today or tomorrow
Leigh have a few out but fairly strong if somewhat aged
Well you bit my head off for mentioning it but we now have the very dilemma.
Who makes way for Tom because if selected one has to go. Harsh on either but Kershaw has to be the more obvious.
It’s brutal but a good brutal as far as the team is concerned.
I’d give Tom another week normally but if he realistically wants an England spot he needs games ASAP
If he’s fully fit play him vs Leigh. It doesn’t mean one of Kershaw or Kay won’t get another shot (5 day turnaround for next game may be too soon for TJ to back up).
Personally Kay has been excellent on the left wing so TJ will have to play well if he does get a shot. Kay has been better on the left than he has on the right but Tupou is on fire lately creating chances a plenty.
I’d be happy for any combination of TJ, Kay, Kershaw. Highly positive the way they have been playing. More of the same.
