Squad news later today.

Id like to see Walshaw included in some capacity, but otherwise id mostly go with same as last week (Depending on Mullaney)

Mullaney/Mendeika
Williams
Purtell
Henry
Clare
Gaskell
Addy
Sidlow
O'Brien
Clough
Olbison
Ferguson
Pitts

Lauaki
Crossley
Neilsen (needs to get up to speed)
Walshaw

Think that could be the line up, apart from Blythe or Ryan will be selected ahead of Walshaw. Was really disappointed with Blythe last week. I would put Walshaw ahead of him, but i don't think it will happen.

Forgot about Ryan in fairness, not sure about Blythe he really seems to have slipped away not sure about his future with us due to new recruits.

THIS WEEK'S 19-MAN SQUAD IS...
DANE Nielsen looks set to make his eagerly-anticipated Bradford Bulls debut after being named in head coach James Lowes’ Access Solutions Northern 19-Man Squad.

Scrum-half Harry Siejka looks set to make his return from injury against former club Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, with former Belle Vue man Matt Ryan also in the mix, after also being named in Lowes’ provisional squad. In one further change to last week’s 19-man squad, Jean-Philippe Baile comes back into contention.

The Access Solutions Northern 19-Man Squad: Adam O’Brien, Adam Sidlow, Adrian Purtell, Dale Ferguson, Dane Nielsen, Danny Addy, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Harry Siejka, James Clare, Jay Pitts, Jean-Philippe Baile, Lee Gaskell, Matt Ryan, Matty Blythe, Omari Caro, Paul Clough, Steve Crossley, Tom Olbison.

who does that leave at fullback?

Re: Super 8's Game 2: Wakefield Away : Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:45 pm  

So no Mullaney or Henry.

I guess in that case it will be...

Clare
Caro
Neilsen
Purtell
Williams
Gaskell
Addy
Sidlow
O'brien
Clough
Olbison
Ferguson
Pitts

Crossley
Lauaki
Blythe
Ryan

With Baile and Seijka missing out.

A lot of Superleague or NRL experience in that 19 there.

Re: Super 8's Game 2: Wakefield Away : Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:51 pm  

Absolutey gutted Mullaney is missing!! If Siejka is selected he has to step up big time. Clare will be full back. Surprised Baile is included in such a big game when he's not played for two month and we have plenty of similar options to him.

Re: Super 8's Game 2: Wakefield Away : Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:58 pm  

Yes it's a blow Mullaney is missing. Got to be Clare at full back

Re: Super 8's Game 2: Wakefield Away : Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:59 pm  

Seems bizarre not to include shaw or mendeika for FB. Has Clare actually played there much in past?. Or are we being really different and going addy sjelka in halves and Gaskell FB?.

Didn't Clare play full back while at York?

Shame Mullaney isn't playing but I thought he was quiet last week.

Swapping Siejka and Addy at this point is too big a risk at this stage. Addy's getting some confidence in that position. Putting Siejka in there might upset the apple cart.
