Crowther to miss out for me he is work in progress .He is week on line defence as not strong enough yet and think we should go for the biggest pack we can put out.Atkins should start in second row for me Arundel went well at Wires.Keep Rocky on the wing to match the speed London have out wide .Just what I think not having a go at anybody

Quite a few permutations there, for the threequarters, personally I'd go with
BJB
Arundel
Atkins
Lyne

Plenty of experience, and enough pace.

I've not got a problem with Jordy's defence.

Crowther will play because (a] he is a lot better than your suggestion above and (b) he is a forward, so short of both putting kershaw on the wing and a centre on the bench as a second row interchange, the alternative would be Gwaze and he is not ready for SL at present.

He also played pretty well last week.

fWIW Crowther was the pick of all Trinity players according to RLE

Think you need to re-watch a few games. Weak in defence?
Rather have him in defence than a few I could mention........
Hes just the right type of player for this game - Good enough and actually wants to play for Wakefield Trinity.

Re: 19 Man squad for Friday : Wed Sep 11, 2019 10:39 pm  

Crowther for me because London are very fit. I don't think it's about having the biggest pack but having the fittest. Crowther is young. He'll have the engine. Gwaze won't have the match fitness or experience. Kershaw won't need the fitness as much but his experience makes him miss out. It's the kind of game that could ruin a young player if he makes a crucial mistake.

I sometimes wonder to myself whether people are watching the same thing as me at times?

Off the back of playing away at Warrington, the challenge cup winners and grand final contenders....with a pack full of internationals..

One of our ‘own’...a young player with Trinity running through his blood...tops the tackle count with 39...has two misses...the same as GB international Chris Hill who made 6 tackles less...two misses less than Mike Cooper and Ben Currie, both quality players and someone states he’s weak in defence? Really?

He played his heart out last week as he does most weeks and off the back of how he played and what’s at stake and what it means to him he would be the first name on my team sheet this week without hesitation!
