Yeah drop Lui after one bad game...which we still won!
Great man management. Put Myler in there, despite being absolutely clueless at scrum half all lay year!
Or throw Mclelland in against Saints with very little first grade experience....
I love this forum sometimes....

Its too early to drop Lui as we have only played one game in four months. However, he was awful against Huddersfield and a similar performance this week from him then it will be time to start looking at giving Cal a go in my opinion.

I'd love to see Holroyd given a run this week.

I am looking forward to seeing Holroyd, Oledski and Ava in rotation, I still think we lack heavy artillery and I'd give the young bull a crack at Saints and James Graham and see how he handles the challenge.

It's not just about giving youth a chance, he would add something missing from the team.

We would need our back row to work hard in D because Donaldson is great at the tidying work that often goes un-noticed.

However as previous posters said, I can see a place going to L Sutcliffe.

The club clearly has ambitions this year to do something which is great, but I would be systematically giving pretty much all those young talents a go this season and taking the medium-long view.

You could look at Mustapha or Walters for later game once the fatigue sets in a bit and there's a little less emphasis on D. Both are players you wouldn't want running at you when you're gassed.

Both Lui and Hurrell looked well over weight - sad to see professional sportsmen allowed to get that big

Still without Walker, Donaldson, Crosby, Ward, Sutcliffe I believe.

Just on Donaldson - every decent team/squad needs that type of player, committed, hard working and lets be fair not a huge drain on the salary cap, we've had these type of players throughout the recent success, he's been a real find IMO and hope he gets back sooner rather than later.

Hurrell as always seemed to me to carry too much weight around belly.

What is still wrong with Crosby - surely he has had enough time to recover - two years must be enough?

I see this a lot "not a huge drain on the SC" he's a 1st Team regular his wage eill reflect that.
Admirable work rate but id rather see Walters or another younger forward given the chance.

They never really mention him anymore do they?

They probably made him redundant but no one told him + he just keeps turning up. No one has the heart to tell him they cancelled his contract

As for the game. I have already convinced mesen Saints will hammer us. So anything different is a positive I guess.

Hurrell told a mutual friend that he'd put 10kg on during lockdown. Maybe a bit tongue in cheek but when I saw him on Sunday it didn't look far off

I know he drives people mad with his handling issues but hes our biggest threat when he does hold onto it.

That's a stone and a half!!

I'd say our 1 x-factor player. Just needs to cut out the handling mistakes

Hurrell has had a lot to deal with over the last few months, so I can understand.

Lui is a terrible shape by any measure and has been for years. I don't understand why any pro athlete would allow themselves to be in such poor condition. It should be the absolute bare minimum for any athlete. The better condition you're in, the better you play. I have no doubt some of the errors Lui makes is simply down to his poor conditioning affecting his decision making.

Hurrell was fat prior to lockdown never mind post-lockdown.

He does have an X factor to him, however, his handling is awful, he continually flies out of the line to create gaps and then struggles to get back into the defensive line and seems to pick up a knock every time he gets the ball. On occasions, you wish we just had a less flashy but more reliable centre.

Lui has turned into Tui: a fatty. He should be dropped until he gets back into shape.

To be honest and I may get flamed for this but I can forgive Hurrell for his handling mistakes, for a coupe of reasons but mainly he's an absolute joy to watch, as much as Id love a team with hardly any mistakes, I do watch the game for entertainment and Hurrell is 100% entertainment

Hurrell will be a huge lost for us attack wise, yes he comes up with errors but there's no doubt he's our biggest threat in opposition 20, from the 21 I think agar will go with

Don't think playing against saints is the right game to throw the likes of Mclelland and Broadbent into but they will get there chances this season.

Surprised at L Sutcliffe omision is he injured or has he pi$$ed off Agar?

Had an op hasnt he?

I dont know thats why i asked if he was injured.If so that would explain it.

This is how i would go. But i wouldn't be surprised if we see Handley moved inside with both Briscoe's on the wing and Sutcliffe on the bench and big Tom missing out.
