9 out of 25. The team for Wigan will be interesting....



Hardaker

Watkins Delaney Keinhorst Hall

Sutcliffe Lilley

Galloway Burrow Cuthbertson

Ferres Achurch

Singleton

Bench: Walters, Mullally, Baldwinson, JJB?

Garbutt is back next week

I'd shift Watkins to the left and have Keinhorst on the right. Assuming Hall can't play as badly next week (unless it's on purpose) then I'd load the left with all our biggest attacking threats, Ferres, Watkins, Hall.

If it comes to it surely Ferres plays centre before Frog.

As our top tackler we need Delaney to stay in the pack.

not just that , Delaney went to centre briefly at Widnes and they just ran round him

Last I heard they were hopeful McGuire, Ablett and Briscoe would be back playing at the end of March. So hopefully the Easter weekend games vs Cas and Wakey. Golding out for longer maybe 2 months at least.



Apparently Baldwinson took Achurch's place on the bench because Achurch fell ill......Achurch, the guy gets a chance to work his way back into the first team with absentees and bleeding misses out again for some reason. Probably won't make the 17 now with JJB and Garbutt back in the forwards next week.

The Ferres I've seen so far had been at best ordinary. But we are generally way off ( a very low) SL standard at the moment.

Interesting! It has been well stated that Watkins plays on the right because that is his more 'natural' position.....but does anybody else remember Watkins' debut at Magic Weekend when he helped make Eric Anselle's length of field try? He played LC ...and Senior our recognised LC was actually moved to RC (very very unusual) to accomodate him. Why move Senior there - alien to him - if Watkins' 'natural' position is - and was then - RC?



Anyway have always wondered how a Watkins/Hall partnership would go.....but always thought it might be on the right !!



Either way, unless we improve on getting quick ball out there it's all largely academic

It's pretty obvious Achurch is taking the proverbial p*ss ....but then maybe he feels it is reciprocated.

Baldwinson was probably very excited at about been given [uhis[/u opportunity....only to fail to recognise McDermott's policy of often treating one of his subs as invisible and no better than selecting a wooden dummy to be 17th man.

This



Delaney was always the most cumbersome of centres even in his younger days debut season.....you might as well play Cuthbertson there for all the good that would do.

Yep he'll be frustrated but Singleton once had to tread that path and people were saying McDermott was ruining him, but he looks just fine now.
