Not good enough defensively for centre. Gaskell at 6 and Charnock 13 for me

Is Charnock strong enough down the middle though?, how do we play him going forward?

Surley we can't expect him to cart the ball in every set or two so that may take away some grunt and go forward, and for me a ball player calling shots at 13 is a case of "too many cooks spoil the broth".

It was just a thought, seem to have hit some form with LC and DC at HB and don't see any point in tipping over the apple cart.

We will start a prop at 13 next week my guess Kavanagh will start there.

Extra kicking practice required.

The back line and halves will probably be the same next week, just a shuffle and tweak of the pack and bench I reckon.

Is Clough far off fitness? We could do with his reliability next week.

If we get Gaskell back what about playing him at right centre?

Be some serious strike power in the back line.

Yes. Lets play our best player out of position in a position hes never played in for us
What a great idea

So youre sugesting, in a game worth £500000 and us needing to win to give us the slim slim chance of pressing for promotion (not that i think we can do it ) playing our best player in a position he hasnt played for 3/4 years?
