Be very surprised if waine isn't on the bench sunday he's a threat and a try scorer and a second row not in competition with scurr.

Gee, Fulton & Donno are all starting. The 3 middles on the bench that Waine has to force in front of are Scurr, Pele or Michael. I suppose Michael could be the one to miss out. But it’s unlikely.

I think LBB looks a different player to last season. A full pre-season has done him the world of good. Looks very aggressive so I wouldn't drop him. I wouldn't risk Armitage either. He's missed pre-season, only just come back from a calf injury. To throw him on against a full time team on a glue pot of a pitch would be madness. Gill more than capable. Nice options to have and if any player has the brain fart discipline of last year they can be hooked with an equal replacement.

I assume Gill didn’t have a disciplinary issue with that tackle vs Huddersfield? I haven’t seen anything

Doesn't look like it. The point about discipline is a good one. A lot of teams will try and rile us up this year as it's widely known that we can get put off our game with that kind of thing. It'll be interesting to see how we handle it. I recall Hallas and Souter in particular were targeted by opposition for the wind ups.

Good point. The 2 games that the majority of the first team played in - Doncaster & Huddersfield, discipline was much better. Keighley away & Dewsbury away - basically academy/reserve grade but more penalties and 6 agains.
