Team for Sheffield and thoughts? : Sat Mar 13, 2010 2:02 pm  

Really tough game this one, we scraped through by 2 points last year and they have a good backline. I would go with the below to combat them and possibly sacrifice Thompson against a big experienced backline of opponents.


1. Scott Yates
2. Paddy Flynn
3. Richard Varkulis
4. Shayne Grady
5. Matt Gardner
6. Anthony Thackeray
7. James Webster
8. Gareth Haggerty
9. Mark Smith
10. Jim Gannon
11. Lee Doran
12. Liam Farrell
13. Dave Allen

14. Ben Kavanagh
15. Thomas Coyle
16. Chris Gerrard/Steve Pickersgill
17. Ben Davies


Missing

James Ford
Toa Kohe Love
Chris Dean
Dean Gaskell
Steve Pickersgill (unsure of his neck injury so might be back)

Widnes will get mullered.

Sheffield by 20. (30 if Kohe Love plays).

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaagles, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaagles

Think Widnes could come unstuck away from home.

Always a real tough egg Sheffield but we tend to come through!

I think in past years there big lads up front have battered us but this year are pack have been exceptional so honestly think we'll get the win! I'd agree with Varks as they have big lads at Centre, though Thompson would learn a lot and really be tested if got the nod! Gardner should help out with the big lads from playing wing as well.

Shame can't go but been a few times and desperately need save some penny!

Do you really roar? Like a lion? You must get some funny looks in the North Stand

Re: Team for Sheffield and thoughts? : Sat Mar 13, 2010 5:26 pm  

You should try it, the opposition shit themselves.

Re: Team for Sheffield and thoughts? : Sat Mar 13, 2010 5:30 pm

My team except i would have houghton in the team rather than gerrard or ben davies.I like Thompson but i feel varkulis has more experience for these two important games.Sheff then fax on thursday will show where we are at as a team.

Think their outside backs are more impressive: Barnett, Yere, Ropati, Thackeray and Woodcock. I think at least 2 of them players would get in every side, I would take all at Fax apart from Thackeray and maybe wouldnt want Woodcock
