Team for Leeds game : Tue Feb 02, 2010 10:46 am  

This is the team i would pick..

Owen
Thompson
Evans
Shenton
Wainwright
Chase
Sherwin
Sargent
Hudson
Huby
Jones
Ferres
Westerman

Jackson
Snitch
Netherton
Higgins

I would take a gamble on Thompson on the wing, and also have a big bench to combate Leeds, who will have four forwards on the bench. I would feel for Widders if dropped, but i just couldnt find a place for him.

I think I kind of agree with you - but I expect:
McGoldrick
Owen
Evans
Shenton
Wainwright
Chase
Sherwin
Sargent
Hudson
Huby
Jones
Ferres
Westerman

Jackson
Snitch
Widders
Higgins

For some wierd reason, I can see us going through that whole mess when Hudson needs a rest: Hudson to bench, Owen to FB, back rower to centre, Goldy into halves and Rangi to hooker.......
I don't know why, but I can see us going that way and using Westy like a back rower and playing 4 back rowers (Jones, Ferres, Westerman, Widders) and 5 props (Huby, Sarge, Jackson, Snitch, Higgins).... Basically I said on another post and agree with CGP - we will go negative to not lose by a lot and it might just work for us if the heavens open on a boggy track?!?

Widders is on form, he has to play. Id drop Netherton and put Jones on the bench as cover at hooker and 2nd row and start Widders.

I think it's safe to say that Owen won't be picked at full-back, unfortunately.

McGoldrick = Centre or nothing for me.

I agree! and Widders is strong defensively aswell, he always gives 100%!

My team would be
Owen
Evans
Shenton
McGoldrick
Wainwright
Chase
Sherwin
Sargent
Hudson
Jackson
Ferres
Snitch
Westerman
Subs
Huby
Jones
Widders
Higgins

I would give McGoldrick a run in the centres as that is what we bought him for and to be honest Evans hasn't exactly set the world on fire while being there.

Personally I will wait for squad to be announced after last weeks performance I dont think Sherwin, Owen, and Ferres will be ready
