Is the side I'd pick. Not sure what Wello offers these days.

You've been saying that for the last 4 years. The answer is leadership, and without him last year wouldn't have finished the way it did!

Re: 19 man squad v Warrington : Tue Mar 17, 2015 6:08 pm  

Wello against Widnes. 4 tackles, 1 missed, 2 errors, 3m per carry for a huge 50m.
Wello against Wakefield. 2 carries for 9m.

Not good enough for a Super League player, we're playing a man down when he's in.

So we've got Wilkin (Club captain), Burns, Roby, LMS etc playing and we need to wheel Wello out because we don't have enough leadership? On that basis he would play until he died?

There's a big Wello love fest going on at the moment. It wont last

I'd go with

Makinson
Dawson
Turner
Jones
Swift
Burns
Wilkin
Walmsley
Robes
Amor
Vea
Greenwood
Lms

Mose
Richards
Thompson
sav/lance

I'm not sure if I'd go with lance on the bench for sav as we need cover for the backs if/when we get a injury. Also not sure how fit robes is.

I think we've got enough power in the forwards to accommodate Lance on the bench, and we could do with him there for the reasons you mention. If I were KC I'd be looking to get an extra 5 minutes per-stint out of Mose, since he's demonstrated at Wakey that he's up to it. That would help to make up for not having a fourth forward on the bench.

Up until the wakey game I don't think mose earned his spot and Id have dropped him.

I noticed KC comment " mose has now started to step up to the plate" so his lack lustre performances haven't gone unoticed pre Wakey.

Re: 19 man squad v Warrington : Tue Mar 17, 2015 8:44 pm  

I love our pack and seeing Amor back in for this one is a big plus; alongside Roby of course.

I think they still don't know what their best back line is so if we can get on top of Hill and Simms then we can try to put GOB and wheeler/Bridge under pressure. They lack a long kicking game so field position could be crucial.

I'm not sure whether I would move Makinson or Swift to FB as we lose a lot on the wing by playing Dawson. I'd stick with Wellens as there is no other option

You know, I think I'd go for the big bench and play Hohaia #1. It doesn't seem such a wild idea, but yet quite an unlikely choice for KC.

When did Lance last play FB??? 24 months ago in a friendly?
