I would like to see Dowes and Cusack start to counter Fielden and Feka. Plus i think King and Thackray would be able to get on top of Coley and O'Carroll/Prescott when the starting props end up getting replaced.

I'd very surprised if that didn't happen.

That was my first thought but then I thought that maybe King, Thackray and Manu all coming on together might mean a lack of impact players starting the match?

I think/ hope you'll find Feka and Hock will be on the bench. O'Carroll played well last Sunday as he did in the World Cup.

Do we need impact from the start of the match? Impact is less easy versus fresh defence isnt it?

Not really. It's lacking a bit of impact, but it's a long way from being weak. All are experienced, all have played in major finals and, aside from Washbrook, all have had some form of representative experience.

Im not doubting the experience but the players i've named need to up there game from last season.

Motu is truly the complete modern day player. An impact start pivotal full back, who is also Master of the Universe. Can't ask for more than that in one person.
