Last week he was due to be out a further 2 to 3 weeks so he could do or he might not do but since he has only played for half a game so far this season even if he does play, he could be rusty.

Our backline for next week should be....

Eastmond
Armstrong
Wheeler
Flannery
Meli
Pryce
Ellis

could robes do a job at fb?

In my opinion our backline and halves will look like this :
Eastmond
Foster
Dean
Wheeler
Meli
Wilkin
Pryce

Why not have Pryce at FB and then play Eastmond and Wheeler together at half backs, other centre I don't know.

Surely there are two centres, two wingers and a fullback in the academy at least to not need to move people around too much.

Ellis (sh, and eastmond to fb?) and Foster (centre) should get a go, Its time these lads get the odd game in the first team if they're going to make it

Injured out for a couple of months.

Seems strange why people keep mentionin Jamie Foster and not Tom Armstrog. Jamie is miles away from Super League standard.

It's because some fool came on here for a while stating he'd be brilliant.

Does this Gaskell stand a chance for fullback at the weekend then, he seems highly rated?

Foster is just one more in a long, long line of Rogues Gallery bullseyes.

Expect history revision in 5, 4, 3 ...

I like Gaskell. Dont think he could cope well in defence against the big boys but unless you try him, you will never know.

He is very Skinny. Sam Tomkins like.

TBH i'd forgot about Armstrong, I've never seen anything from him to suggest he's going to make it either

I'd rather throw Pryce in a FB than put a rookie there under pressure. Even if we are talking about the Crusaders.

He played about three first grade games last season when Meli decided to lose his visa application so I'm not sure we're really fully qualified to judge him yet, are we? Especially since he's had further time since then to develop. Whether he's ready or not, the chances are he will be on the pitch on Friday because Gardner isn't due back and Lomax's nose is all over his face so we are stuck.

A little nosebleed is no excuse. And it's not like he was a looker in the first place.

Paul wellens sufferd a dead leg. He will play Friday.

Kath Hetherington?

1 wellens
2 armstrong
3 roby
4 wheeler
5 meli
6 pryce
7 eastmond

wellens back is great news, i dont go for the "its only Crusaders" line. They aren't the best, but they aren't the worst either

Pryce
Armstrong
Dean
Wheeler
Meli
Roby
Eastmond

Graham
Moore
Fozzard
Puletua
Dixon
Clough

Hargreaves
Cunningham
Fa'asavalu
Magennis

No Wellens, Gardner, Gidley, Soliola, Wilkin, Flannery, Ashurst, Lomax........whinge,whinge, moan,moan.

I've never understood the aversion from playing Roby as a temporary measure at stand-off. He's a lot closer to that position than many give credit.

Id play Eastmond at FB, he would be awesome fielding kicks
