Hoping CTW gets the nod at full back.

CTW
Thewlis
Tai
King
Ashton
Williams
Drinkwater
Vaughan
Powell
Yates
Nicholson
Bateman
Currie

Walker
Harrison
Musgrove
Crowther

But wouldn’t be surprised to see Philbin get some game time for one of Vaughan or Musgrove…

The Gleeson interview in the WG hinted at CTW slotting in at FB. I expect Philbin to get some game time, so maybe Vaughan to be rested? Powell was due to be rested against London but had to cover for Williams, so maybe he's also rested with Crowther doing a spell at 9?

I hope so. The alternative is Thewlis to full-back and Lindop on the wing, but I'm not a fan of making positional changes when you don't need to. If CTW is regarded as our deputy full-back, then play him when the opportunity arises.

Eek. Out till first round of the play offs - could have been worse I suppose. Makes top 2 much more difficult though.

I’d still give CTW the run this week, if he does well keep him there, if not we have the option of putting Thewlis in and Lindop to wing.

Maybe Play CTW at fullback when we are attacking and then swop him and Thewlis around when we are defending?

If Dufty is out for 6 weeks, then that would ease CTW into regular 1st team rugby, and he would be under less defensive pressure.

Hmm not sure, that might put him under more pressure. Yes a full back has to make last ditch tackles, but defensive positioning for a winger is vital and he'd still be under pressure through a kicking game on the wing (see Thewlis vs Hull KR). Asking him to defend in a completely alien position to him might be asking for trouble?
