Keep the faith UR! Widdop should be massive for us. Gelling/Burrell should offer something different and Currie and BMM are renaissance men, the future is bright!
I'd have swapped Goodwin for Gelling everytime. Gelling has everything Goodwin has plus a good pair of hands. Gelling can do the around the back passing too. Definitely an improvement. I'd put Keenan Brand in ahead of King too!
I definitely think you should give Keenan Brand a shot in place of King. King for me is your weakest link. I’m looking forward to seeing Gelling back in SL. He’s a potential match winner and a joy to watch when he’s on his game. Hopefully he’ll find some consistency with you. I notice Ratchford is named at stand off for your friendly game tomorrow. An experiment or a SL starter??
Whether it's a plan to play Ratch in the halves or not... 2 positives from it are... a) if we get another hb injury...he'll have too anyway so the practice will do him good. b)Mano gets practice time at 1 if a) occurs.
Be interesting to see if Price sticks to his tried and tested lineup.
Putting Ashton at FB & moving Ratchford (and not replacing him at FB with Mamo) is already a bit of a shift. All eyes on Ashton ... he's most definitely very quick.
Ashton is an interesting selection at FB. Thinking about it, I'm guessing that he will want to give both Ratchford and Patton a spell at half back and, so long as he gets some game time in somewhere on the field, he doesn't need to see Ratchford play at FB. Mamo to come on at FB in the second half?
