Can't see Oledzki selected. Think Peteru and Singleton will be starting props. Think Smith will get a bench spot. Final bench spot will be toss up between JJB and Donaldson, probably JJB.

Worry about our wings especially if Briscoe is out. Newman will get destroyed on the wing. Handley is so so.

Newman needs to really work on defense its ok being great going forward but should not be anywhere near the first team now or ever unless he starts to look like he wants to tackle. Could be another Kevin Penny if he does not watch it.

L.Sutcliffe and JJB 18th and 19th Men.

i think people are going to be surprised by the team selection, think Sutcliffe will be in Sr starting, can even see a Graham Murray style shock omissions.

Give over he's a centre, and pretty good at it. Nothing wrong with his defence, especially if you are using boxing day as an example. Look at almost every game against Cas over last three years and how and where the try's are scored. Pretty much the same every time.

Well if you review the Saints game at HQ last year and look at where the tries came from it would suggest his defence needs work. However he is young and I would have no issues with him starting on the wing with a view to a run of 4/6 games before a rest. Not sur the next 4 games is when he should be starting though

centre or not, he should not be anywhere near the side at the moment, he was awful defensively against Cas in no mans land for 3 of there tries, not including the ones from kicks which i am fine with as it happens. the others he did not look like he wanted to tackle anybody just ran into space and flaps his arms around. he will lose us games if he plays in super league at the moment, come back in 12 months when he has learned how to mark up and make a tackle or at least try to make a tackle. Not writing if off as he is cracking attacking player, but no where near ready for super league yet, 12 months at Fev then reassess.

The whole right edge was poor including Watkins AND Sutcliffe to put the whole blame on Newman is way OTT and wide of the mark.
Yes he's very raw but he bounced back 2nd half and imo shouldn't be going anywhere if he's in Furners plans.
