team for HKR? : Tue Feb 28, 2012 4:23 pm  

Think Finno deserves a spot after Sunday and is Haggerty fit? We could use his defensive capabilities, bringing Winterstein off the bench for some impact. Isa dropped for me, throw Phelps straight in. Craven at 6 to give White some time at 9 too.

1 Briscoe
2 Flynn
3 Marsh
4 Phelps
5 Ah Van
6 Craven
7 Hanbury
8 Cross
9 Clarke
10 Mullally
11 Finnigan
12 Cahill
13 Haggerty

14 White
15 Davies
16 Winterstein
17 Pickersgill / Kite

Allen would have to be in there for me rich.

Agree, Allen for Haggs, Cahill to 13 and then pretty much the same as Rich. Haggs is useful as can slot into Centre but fingers crossed no injuries there!

Allen and winterstein secondrowers and Cahill at loosefwd.Finnigan,Pickersgill,White and Davies on the bench.

i feel quite sorry for isa, he is certainly starting to prove his worth a bit more recently. I think phelps is a much better player but isa is just starting to impress me a little. His running with the ball is basically flawless, nice step etc. His defending still needs improving but i've seen a bigger improvement recently. For me i would rest marsh as he seemed to of picked up a knock against leeds.

Re: team for HKR? : Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:15 pm  

I think for the 1st time this season I actually noticed Isa on the pitch, so thats a start To be fair its hard for a centre to impress when they dont get given the ball in good positions, we dont exactly fling the ball around do we? Hopefully he can keep improving each week.

Re: team for HKR? : Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:18 pm  

I was very impressed with winterstein against leeds. has anyone else noticed just how fast he is off the mark? for a big guy he hits top speed in crazy time.

Re: team for HKR? : Wed Feb 29, 2012 1:39 pm  

Maybe Allen for Haggs then. Allen's bravery has impressed me, but in his last couple of outings- I think Haggerty has been one of very few players who has looked capable of handling himself in SL. Atleast in defence.

Got to admit his tackling is great.Just that Allen is a better ball handler at the moment.Allen has also tackled ok.Isa is still young and if improves defence he could be a top signing.We need to replace Watts with a quality standoff.

i'd go with

1. BRISCOE
2. ISA
3. MARSH
4. AH VAN
5. FLYNN
6. PHELPS
7. HANBURY
8. CROSS
9. WHITE
10. KITE/MULLALLY
11. WINTERSTEIN
12. CAHILL
13. CLARKE

If we are struggling at number 10 i'd also consider giving winterstein a spell at prop.
