Don't like the idea of Hoy on the bench. I'd either start him of leave him out all together. Anyway, strap yourselves in!
interesting call on Hoy but was leaked a couple of days ago on here.Future for him here doesnt look bright for him unless injuries give him a game
It does give the option to change things at halfback if there is no spark there or Walker gets injured and i guess he could also fill a back position in a crisis
Still a weak bench with no real impact player.
Would have started Ashworth and held Pele back with a couple of long spells off the bench
Agree it’s a pretty weak bench with Hoy and Lane, struggling to see how Lane makes the 17. Can only think Hoys place is as cover for Walker/Smith or to possibly to allow us to move Smith to 9 if Houghton goes to 13 or sits out for a short spell.
Would much rather have seen Staveley in ahead of Lane as been more of a liability on the field the past 2 years.
Win or lose at least we’ll get some idea of where we are at this season in the first meaningful game.
