Form over the last five games



The order of the teams is the order the table would be in right now if the season started five games ago. Left most is the game furthest in the past, and the most recent game is on the right.

Kurt Haggerty and Mitch Clark got one match bans and won't play this week

With Haggerty out, who will play in the halves? I'm hoping for Lauaki

Re: Bulls V Swinton : Wed May 11, 2016 9:18 pm  

For the Swinton game I'd be tempted to go with:

Mathers (may as well use him)
Caro
Welham
Ryan
Clare
Gaskell
Thomas (give him a run out at HB)
Clough
Lumb
Sidlow
Mellor
Ferguson
Addy

O'Brien
Crossley
Olbison
Fleming

If you apply that logic, there are about a dozen other guys you could pick!

I don't think that it's the worst idea in the world to use AOB at 7 and use lumb at hooker.

Might give us better distribution and if it's going wrong then I'm sure we can throw somebody else in there!!

I'd keep Clare there. We're only 12 games away from the middle 8's and it be nice to get certain starters playing in their regular position to get some consistency. Clare is a certain starter for me and our best FB.

Think Clare's safest FB option we've seen so far. Thought Thomas looked a bit more dangerous in attack but not as solid defensively. Would still like to see what Campbell can do their as that's position he was signed for. Mathers is behind all three IMO.

Range of possible league positions after this weekend:



As before, this pays no attention to points difference at all. I prefer the calculations to be done in the same week I start them so I ignore it altogether.
