Be great to see Flannery back, I think it would be stupid to risk James Roby so soon.

Agree about robes, but not missed "mr Average" Flannery TBH.



Aslo, I don't know who suggested Eastmond at full back but they want their head examining in my very humble opinion. Against bratford I'd put in Makinson and bring in Armstrong on the wing or vice versa.(Armstrong's not injured is he?

)

I wouldn't have Eastmond at fullback either. He wasn't any good there when we have tried him in the past. I would imagine Nathan Ashe will be played at fullback instead, assuming his leg is alright. Ashe appears to be the understudy. We should leave Makinson on the wing, let him get his bearings there as we are going to need him against Wigan and Wire.



Armstrong is back at Leigh. He played for them last week.

Fair enough. I forgot about Ashe!

Roby has been cleared to play Sunday according to Sky Sports News.

More than likely p1ss poor reporting of what was actually said.

Correct: on sporting life "sizzler" said

"I will give him until Sunday and if the swelling goes down and the numbness leaves his face, I will play him"



not quite - he is fit to play.

I was told today that the doc give him all clear as long as he's got full sight in the meaning swelling needs to go down.

do we need roby to beat the bulls

is it imperative we beat the bulls

does it affect our season if we do lose



any of the above YES then play him. otherwise, save him for the big boys.

like the selections but i would probably rotate eastmond and lomax for impact throughout the game, just a thought!

If Wello is out with a dead leg i would play Lomax at Fullback and move Eastmond to scrum half.



Eastmond went well when he played in the halves last time round.



Also Lomax needs to get game time at fullback because he has been groomed to be Wellos replacement, and played in that position at Salford earlier in the season when Wello was out with a knock.

If roby has been cleared to play by the doc and feels ok to play then he should play.
