Next up the Seagulls

Going for a win here of 24-14

Not sure how it will happen without a few changes been made but hopefully we can get a few of leeds this week

Not sure on the result , if it’s the same team as Sunday then we will lose I’m afraid. A big believer that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it , but it is broken so I would be tempted to either play widdop at fb and move woody to centre or alternatively play salty at centre and move tibbs to the wing , hopefully Eden is fit our backline could look more threatening and stable like this

Tibbs woody smith Eden

Tibbs salty smith Eden

Tibbs salty woody eden

Salty isn’t quick enough to be a winger and as been exposed for pace a few times but he still carries well and has a good offload under pressure.

The pack

Fairbank and larroyer as starting props isn’t good enough

Fairbank will play loose with Conner suspended

If Douglas is fit I would play him and Hudson and tangata and lannon off the bench if Douglas isn’t fit I would play Hudson and tangata and use either gee or davies and lannon as rotating props with hursey filling in at second row .

Same team and we lose. How we change it with the squad we have, i don't know. Sheffield by 14.

Can’t understand why anyone would want Woody at centre his defence there wouldn’t improve anything...said it before get Kav there with Smith and that’s it sorted.Watch Kav’s try last week and tell me he’d be out of place in three-quarters...Fax 22 Sheffield 14.

Moving JWH to centre allows us to bring Keyes back - something I think we must do, but we then also lose our most potential attacking threat, as I don't think Woody would be anything like as effective at centre.Don't think for a second that this would happen but I'd have Keyes and Jouffret in the halves, JWH at fullback and Widdop at loose forward. He's big enough, and just doesn't seem to have pace for the backs. As has been said above I'm praying for some coming back from injury - Crooks would make a massive difference in both attack and defence, especially if he can be paired with Eden.

My thought process is based on desperation , is woody better at centre than tibbs or McComb?

He's got to be, surely. I wouldn’t put him there though.

I probably have better defence than Tibbs he is shocking

By a mile. We were always going to have this problem with 4 not going in to 3 in our key positions. For the moment Keyes looks like he is the fall guy but playing Jouffret or Widdop at FB and bringing Keyes back in and moving Woody to centre over either of the players mentioned quite clearly improves our team.

Sheffield along with Bradford will be fighting it out for the 2 or 3 places behind Wakefield so in that sense its going to be a tough game and Sheffield look far stronger than us. The reality is where we are at the moment, this should be a comfortable win for Sheffield and I really don't know if we have it in us to provide a shock result. Last weeks second half suggests what we already suspected, that our team has a very soft underbelly and don't have the stomach for a battle.

Let's hope the players read these posts and go out to prove us all wrong. It's counter productive to criticise but to do otherwise on what we've seen so far would be plain daft! Up The Fax!

With the pitch resembling a ploughed field maybe we could grow some turnips and play them at centre . I can hear it on the tannoy ‘ no 4 j turnip sponsored by farmfoods ‘ followed by a big roar from the crowd.

I will hold off saying who i would play and where until the squad is released tomorrow. Basically so i can see if we have anyone from Leeds other than Smith because it is pretty much guess work as to who is fit from the players named.

In my opinion moving Woody would be a mistake. It took several seasons to find his position and is our best attacking threat from fullback. As has previously been said that threat is nullified when he plays at centre.
KKav at centre would be my option with Gee the other especially given the state of the pitch. The pack then picks itself from all that are available though whether strong enough to contain Sheffields i doubt.
I always go full of optimism so a Fax win by 6.

Almost as my post...ive no issue with Smith at centre though,leave Gee in pack unless we're calling reinforcements...

Well another mystifying line up.No forwards from Leeds but a full back.DR is utter e but our use of it is ten times worse....or should I say what we're told to use of it is...are we only allowed to name Hudson when he's not fit to play..

Seen the squad, preparing myself for astons Cheshire Cat grin in the post match interview.

32-16 to Sheffield.

Agree that weekly squad announcements are a complete waste of time, no idea if Douglas and Eden are fit and bringing in a young fullback when that's position we are probably strongest is non sensical. Can only think this means shunting JWH to centre and lining up Keyes to get battered again as replacement hooker. Can't see Keyes looking for a contract extension if he's going to be messed about like this, and very little confidence about the outcome of Sunday's game - although I shall be delighted to be proved wrong.

Yes it does look like Woody will be moved to centre with the young lad from Leeds at fullback unless he could play on the wing. Does that solve the problems we clearly have at centre and in the pack no. Selection wise from that squad i am really struggling to pick a side, after last week's game i would of like to have dropped a number of players but we cant. All i can hope for is we have a big upturn in performance get stuck into Sheffield and you never know.

Why on earth would we move one of the best, if not the best, full backs in the league? We moved Woody around for ages until he found his best position.

Just watched Finns pre match press conference - Douglas a possibilty although I'm not holding my breath - didnt sound as though Eden playing so looks like new DR is being lined up for centre/wing. Our backline does not fill me with confidence.

Just to be clear i do not want Woody at centre i would go with what others have said and put Kav there with Ben Hursey in the second row. Lumb is a fullback but he could play wing or could be a squad filler i just can't see him playing centre.

If Woody is moved to make way for a dr player i've never heard of, i'll give up!

Rumor seems to be it will still be Woody at FB and new DR player on the wing, I know I saw people say Salty had a bit of a mare Sunday but you have to presume if fit he is going to be in the team so the suspicion has to be that Eden is still not fit. Im going for Eden, Douglas, Tibbs, and Campbell as the 4 that miss out with Tibbs or Campbell 18th man.

Edit: Just seen they interviewed Salty after the team was named to the players so it would be a major surprise if he did not play.

Just seen that Jack smith as played for the Rhinos reserves today so he will not be playing either. Also Kieran Hudson played for them too, before you say it Hudd- Shay what a complete and utter shower DR is.
