I would stick with Washbrook at 6 just for his defensive qualities. We need to play a consevative game against Bradford, kick early only give them the ball in their quarter, pressure them into coughing up the ball, do not make mistakes in our own half, do not give them field position. In Gale, Sammut and Kearney they have a creative three who can open up any defence. If we give them the ball in our half they will score points. Washbrook at 6 gives us the best chance of looking after Gale etc. A boring game plan is the way forward, defence wins matches - Washbrook can defend.

Reckon he'll switch Smith to stand off and Lyne to centre. Hope he goes with Cowling though.

With the amount of centres in the 19 I think Lee Smith must be at 6 with Washbrook reverting to loose forward. Cowling at centre but maybe he'll go for Lyne there (?) with Collis.



Poore & Amor up front with Tautai, Wilkes, Raleigh and Mariano (Utility) on the bench.

It works when mathers joins the line as a extra stand off as he did when frankie scored against Leeds. Would do that again and let who ever just hand the ball in to the forwards. If mathers does join the line the winger on the opposite side should cover round the back in case ball goes to ground so we are not caught short.

Cowling is match fit or there abouts, Lyne is at this present time is not.



No brainer really for my money.





Whatever RA goes with i agree with others that the less movement within the squad the better.

Assuming its a decision between lynn and cowling, What rationale is there for picking cowling ahead of lynn at centre? Biggest game of the season in terms of a playoff push and people are wanting to throw a kid in, in a sink or swim scenario....thats a poor call. We have to go with Lynn, he is a more senior player than cowling, has more SL experience and in my opinion has aquitted himaelf quite well in recent weeks, namely against leeds at headingly.

Anybody know what the crack with Annakin is? Since he signed his new deal he has been conspicuous by his absence.

I think Agar doesnt want to use him for the rest of the season unless needed, maybe to try and not 'burn him out'. He had a pretty hard game against Wigan (When he last played) and IMO didn't play as well as he has been. With Tautai back I think hes taken his spot.

He was thrown in last year in pretty much the same situation. Got off to a shocking start but went on to have a cracking game.

And to add to that I thought that cowling was older than Lynne?



So that would make Lynne the kid between the two

.



Granted he has more SL experience but Lynne hasn't shown an awful lot this year that he should be a shoe in above cowling.

Match fit.



He's no kid.



He's got balls.



Game over imo.

I have to disagree. I think it would be a reckless decision given the circumstances.
