The Rat Pack. Or frankly, any pack ... : Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:03 pm  

Hot on the news of Kaufusi leaving, we now have a 1 match ban for Pitts, who's been charged with a dangerous throw and taken an early guilty plea.

Solutions on a postcard please as to how we can stem our haemmorhaging of pack members and if not, who on earth we can play in the pack against Salford. In fact, cancel that, volunteers from any planet may apply

Re: The Rat Pack. Or frankly, any pack ... : Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:27 pm  

The usual.

2nd row play prop.

Centres play 2nd row

Wingers play at centre.

If we run out of wingers, then we're screwed

Re: The Rat Pack. Or frankly, any pack ... : Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:32 pm  

Who was 18th man? Foster. So we lose Kaufusi & Pitts, but draft in Foster to cover them.....

Sorted!

Nas
Diskin
Walker
Olbison
Ferguson
Donaldson

O'brien
Sidlow
Baldwinson
Fakir

Don't expect to see that, Henry will probs be on bench.

Re: The Rat Pack. Or frankly, any pack ... : Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:53 pm  

Agreed. No more backs on the bench if we can help it.

One of Henry or Arundel will need to start I think.

Henry has had lots of chances.

He's only played winger a couple of times - poorly
He's played centre - very poorly
He's played 2nd row briefly (never again - please)

Wire ran in a lot of tries in the last 20minutes. 1 try down our right, 3 tries down our Left side? Henry came on Left centre about the 62nd minute? Coincidence? Or were we just tired out?

It was just where Warrington happened to be.

Unfortunately I think Henry’s a busted flush at the moment. I’d be tempted to bring in Mellor to add some badly needed size to the backrow and spell him with Olbison/Baldwinson. This line up would give us a plenty of size so we should have some go forward. I just hope Ferguson can play the full 80 as we need him.

8 Manoakafoa
9 Diskin
10 Sidlow
11 Donaldson
12 Mellor
13 Ferguson

14 Fakir
15 O’Brien
16 Walker
17 Olbison/Baldwinson

Re: The Rat Pack. Or frankly, any pack ... : Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:50 pm  

thought baldwinson was supposed to be able to play prop when we signed him?

Re: The Rat Pack. Or frankly, any pack ... : Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:53 pm  

Simples!

Kear
George
Arundel
Purtell
Foster

Gaskell
Gale

Sidlow
Diskin
Nas
Baldwinson
Olbison
Donno

O'brien
Fakir
Bates (you know, that young PROP who has done well when he's played. Especially in that win against Warington)
Ferguson/Addy

But I expect an absolutely stupid inbalanced line up of

Gaskell
George
Arundel
Purtell
Kear

Addy
Gale

Sidlow
Diskin
Chev "the wrecking ball" Walker
Olbison
Purtell
Donno

O'brien
Fakir
Nas
Henry

Then the usual post match rubbish of "we tried doing the x-factor play instead of building possession and kept gifting them the ball. You can't do that against a team like Salford. We up against it as it is when we lost Kaufusi then Pitts. We're a small enough squad as it is without losing them two!


Rubbish Francis, I've proved you can have a perfectly good line up if you jut play players IN THEIR POSITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope I'm proved wrong but I expect another defeat!

I'm sure Morley, Hock and Hansen are quaking in their boots at the thought of facing that pack . Can't see anything other than another defeat, glass is very dry at the moment.
