That wouldn't be far off my 17 if Walshaw is to miss out injured. My worry would be that after more than 12 months without a game Gilmour will be struggling to do the full eighty, his match fitness will be non existent. I'd play him off the bench with Sykes starting at centre. Whilst not an ideal option Sykes has bags of experience there and is match ready, Gilmour can cover if need be but also spell the backrow in shorter burst. I'd probably also start Smith and have Raleigh on the bench. But as you say it probably won't happen.

Yeah I was shattered when I put this on. Sykes at centre makes more sense gilmour on the bench and andy on bench too as he's not played in a bit.
