The ASN Doors 19-Man Squad: Jean-Philippe Baile, Jay Pitts, Ryan Shaw, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Harry Siejka, Danny Addy, Vila Halafihi, Adam Sidlow, Jake Mullaney, Dane Nielsen, Matty Blythe, James Clare, Lucas Walshaw, Alex Mellor, Steve Crossley, Adam Henry, Paul Clough, Matt Ryan.

Olbison, Purtell, O'brien and Ferguson rested. Still no Gaskell which is probably the right thing. Would have liked Clough or Sidlow and Mullaney rested as well. Hoping Mullaney's hamstrings and calfs hold out!

Lucas Walshaw, Vila Halafihi and Adam Henry are all back in the mix, while Dale Ferguson, Adrian Purtell, Tom Olbison and Adam O’Brien are rested.

The ASN Doors 19-Man Squad: Jean-Philippe Baile, Jay Pitts, Ryan Shaw, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Harry Siejka, Danny Addy, Vila Halafihi, Adam Sidlow, Jake Mullaney, Dane Nielsen, Matty Blythe, James Clare, Lucas Walshaw, Alex Mellor, Steve Crossley, Adam Henry, Paul Clough, Matt Ryan.

Would much rather Mullaney isnt played, there is no need to so why risk him

Beat me to it Mania

Pleasantly surprised at that squad, I fully expected Jimmy to do his usual.
I wouldn't even bother risking Mullaney, I'd line up something like this:

Shaw
Williams
Henry
Nielsen
Clare
Siejka
Addy
Clough
Halafihi
Sidlow
Blythe
Ryan
Pitts

Crossley
Lauaki
Mellor
Walshaw

Baille and Mullaney not used.

Surely he'll rest Mullaney? Can't see him playing the full 80 if he picks him in his 17.

Id go with that, still strong with lots of size in that squad, if Seijka can play as a 6 and attack the line we should be ok

Think that's probably how we'll lineup.

Only other option I can see is sjielka at scrum half, addy at loose, Blythe at centre and Henry at standoff. Bizarre as it sounds standoff has always been listed as of Henry's position although I don't think he's ever featured there for us. Be interesting to see what he could do there in what's probably his last appearance for us.

Re: Halifax Game is now SATURDAY : Thu Sep 24, 2015 2:15 pm  

I'd go for:-
FB Mullaney
SH Seika
SO Addy
Henry a stand off, that's stretching things a bit, he's not got the best pair on hands.

Re: Halifax Game is now SATURDAY : Thu Sep 24, 2015 2:26 pm  

Dont think Mullany can play because of the concussion ruling.

Re: Halifax Game is now SATURDAY : Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:16 pm  

Henry at stand off?

Anyway...We need to be careful not to rest too many players as we need a result out of this game to keep pressure on Wakey. Lose against Halifax and Wakey will be able to rest whoever they like. We could do with the majority of their team playing in a big physical game on Sunday.

Re: Halifax Game is now SATURDAY : Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:17 pm  

Addy out, Gaskell in.
