Re: Notre Saison Commence Maintenant - Catalan Away : Thu May 22, 2014 4:38 pm  

Danny Addy, Joe Arundel, Jordan Baldwinson, Nathan Conroy, James Donaldson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Lee Gaskell, Luke George, Adam Henry, Manase Manuokafoa, Antonio Kaufusi, Elliot Kear, Adam O'Brien, Tom Olbison, Alex Mellor, Jay Pitts, Adrian Purtell, Adam Sidlow.

Diskin and Walker should be back next week vs wakey (doesnt Kaufusi's loan expire after this game?)

Kear
Foster
Arundel
Henry
George
Gaskell
Gale
Nas
O'Brien
Kaufusi
Purtell
Addy
Donno

Pitts
Sidlow
Baldwinson
Conroy

Bit of a difficult one this as we have a few players who all play in the same position.

Kaufusi is available for wakefield game. We got him for 4 games rather than 4 weeks.

Re: Notre Saison Commence Maintenant - Catalan Away : Thu May 22, 2014 5:11 pm  

So we get two back from injury and lose another two. Just to keep it all nice and even!

I hope we can work out a longer deal for him, he's really provided some punch to our forward line

Re: Notre Saison Commence Maintenant - Catalan Away : Thu May 22, 2014 5:41 pm  

Thats good then mat, depends if they rate him as highly as Mullaly he starting getting some form and hudds took him back.

Least our front line is looking better.

Re: Notre Saison Commence Maintenant - Catalan Away : Thu May 22, 2014 5:56 pm  

Think one of articles mentioned Fakir,Blythe and Ferguson could be fit for wakefield game too.

Pretty much what I would go with. Although swap Sidlow with Nas and Pitts with Addy. Hope we actually play the young ones and not start playing silly beggars and playing Second Rowers at stand off, stand off at full back just because they are "more experienced" Play the young hooker at hooker.

Hopefully can keep Kaufusi longer. Hudds are winning and don't have any injuries at moment.

AoB
Nas
Olbison
Purtell
Donno

Conroy
Sidlow
Baldwinson

Baldwinson is definitely playing on Saturday (he confirmed on twitter) so I guess that means Mellor misses out. I'm in two minds who should play out of George/Henry/Arundel, I don't think there's much between any of them really.

Re: Notre Saison Commence Maintenant - Catalan Away : Thu May 22, 2014 7:03 pm  

I'm not sure I'd play young Conroy against a very physical Catalan side, I'd go with another back rower and let Addy go to dummy half when O'Brien is off the field.

If we go that route then it pretty much means Gaskell has to play in halves and kear at FB. You don't want three players switching position mid match to accommodate one substitution. Think I tend to agree with you though. Think gaskells more effective at FB than SO but o'brien and conroy seem to have pretty similar styles and at putting addy in mix would shake things up a little and give Catalans something else to think about..
