I wouldn't be surprised to see Walshaw in the centres rather than Henry.

Part of me thinks from that 19 that O'Brien is carrying a slight knock. As if he was to miss out, I would expect both Conroy & Halafihi to be in the 17, rather than one of them doing 80 minutes.

I agree. Hard to see any other reason to have three hookers in the 19 when O'Brien usually does 80 mins

Minor hamstring strain according to T&A.

I'd imagine that if O'Brian was to miss out, both Halafihi and Conroy would make the team given that neither has played yet this season so it might be a risk asking just one of them to pull an 80 minute stint

Re: Batley (A) : Sat Mar 14, 2015 1:50 pm  

In his T&A column , Uaisele has said he will miss this weekend with a hamstring strain. I suspect that will mean a recall for Uilage unless Walshaw moves to the centre , Ferguson starting and one of Conroy or Halafihi on to the bench.

In the team photo it was Ulugia in the photo but Uaisele was named in the squad. Surprised Ulugia didn't play against Hunslet I thought he played well against Fev.

Re: Batley (A) : Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:21 pm  

I don't understand why Uaisele has been named in the squad if, as the T&A says, he did his hamstring on Wednesday.

He openly states in the piece that he won't be playing this week due to the tweak, yet he's named in 19. Strange to say the least...
