If Pryce isn't fit, I'd really like us to go with Wheeler at 6. Playing people in there natural positions is important to me. Roby at 6 is a bit of a non starter for me (even if he moves later on).

As I have said on RedVee, what do we do when GlassJaw gets injured?

Assuming he's goign to get injured is a [ilittle[/i harsh, but yeah, then we just don't have a choice. TBH i'd go with Wilkin at 6 over Robes.

What about Wilkin to centre?

Mmm, not sure. I suppose if our halves defend the centre channels we won't have to worry about his opposite number catching him out for pace, but I'm not sure whether it would work in attack.

Thats like putting dog turd in your mouth. Its just not right!

I wouldn't. He appeared to spend a lot of time there last week, we didn't look any better than we did when Roby was there.

Neither are natural 6's Wheeler is so he would be my choice - replace like for like

Talk about lowering the tone.

And who would you play centre if Gilmour was injured?

Great avatar.

And thus, the weakness of our backline is exposed.

Like Ski said with a couple of injuries we look weak in the backline.

Is Chris Dean fit ? if he is then him or Foster I would say should play centre as that is there position.

Wheeler is a Standoff and I guess he is a the number 1 backup standoff for us so he should fill that roll

Wheeler was tipped pre season as the next great hope at centre.

You're still assuming another injury (to gilmour) will occurr.

Whilst I conceed we do have a thin squad, alot of teams would struggle with the number of missing players we have.

Meli, Pryce, Eastmond, Flannery (can play in the backs).

As Ski mentioned, great avatar. I've sat here for ten minutes trying to fathom what possible context the original picture could have? Why would said woman be desperately reaching for flying sausage?

Leeds rested 13 of their starting 17 against Cas last year, and still won. We are sitting ducks with only three or four out. Our lack of strength in depth is obvious.

It is a fair assumption. The guy disappears for a time every match, and not because he is being spelled.



Out of all of them, I trust one at centre. 'Appen his ego is too big for him to stand aside for the good of the team.

Jamie Foster probably.

What if he isn't on the bench?

True, I was thinking of the most like-for-like replacement in the squad.

And we are posing the "what happens when the inevitable happens to Gilly" question.

Well probably Pryce to centre (if playing) and Wheeler to 6.

Will Pryce suck his ego in?

Again, pre season, Wheeler was the next great hope at centre.

No way he will.
Wilkin at 6 this week id think, give Wheeler the centre spot.

Armstrong?

He's reportedly a centre and has had first team experience. Maybe shift Gardner to his wing (he has played there after all) and put a youngster on the other wing outside Gidley.

If Pryce is fit, he must go in at SO for me, Long doesn't have the legs any more and I don't see the point of moving the best stand off of the last 2 or 3 years to a position that he both dislikes and is far less effective in.
