Hope to see this:

Kearney
Crookes
Lulia
Walker
Kear
Jeffries
Sammut
Kopczak
Diskin
Langley
Bateman
Whitehead
Addy

L'Estrange
Burgess
Hargreaves
Joseph

Agreed, gives us a lot more going forward, instead of the light weight contributions of Scruton and Hargreaves. Hargreaves or Addy at 13, steels up our front row massively

I'll go with that, but I'd swap Langley and Hargreaves around, get Langers in the front row for a change.
Also, why has everyone put BJ straight in at 6 and moved Sammut to 7? I'd be tempted to leave Sammut at 6 at put Jeffries in at 7, that leaves Sammut in his best position to utilise any space he may get at 2nd receiver.

Jeffries in at 7 for me, with Sammut staying at Stand off.

Same here.

Cant understand why Batemans playing U20'S. Surely if he's fit then he should be in for the first team 17 on Sunday.

Maybe he'll only do 40 minutes tonight to see how he goes. If he comes through it ok he'll be fine for Sunday and might play.

Wakefields 19: Mathers, Fox, Collis, Mellars, Cockayne, John, Wood, Wilkes, Ellis, Raleigh, Lauitiiti, Southern, Washbrook, Aiton, Johnson, Kirmond, Tony, Smith, Trout.

I think we'll go with something along these lines:

Mathers
Fox
Collis
Mellars
Cockayne
John
Smith
Wilkes
Aiton
Southern
Lauitiiti
Kirmond
Washbrook

Johnson
Wood
Trout
Raleigh

Hope to see plenty of Bulls fans as usual. Safe travels.

Players to watch:

Paul Aiton - A class hooker IMO, great around the ruck & puts in the work in defence. PNG captain.
Steve Southern - A real grafter, will put some great hits in. Captain for 2012.
Isaac John - Looks a great prospect, organising stand off. Has an effective short pass & decent turn of pace.

One thing I would mention about the above is they're all on LONG TERM DEALS.

Maybe, yeah. Hope so.

I have a feeling Big Ali could be on the bench so he doesn't get burnt out with PJ in the second row

Doubt Potter will make any big changes so i guess it will be...

Kearney
Crookes
Lulia
Platt
Kear
Sammut
Jeffries
Hargreaves
L'Estrange
Kopczak
Whitehead
Walker
Langley

Diskin
Joseph/Bateman
Burgess
Scruton

As for people saying Langley to Prop, can't see it happening in the short term unless we have a major injury crisis, the amount of money i imagine Scruton/Hargreaves are on, no matter how bad of a performance they have on a game day both unfortunatly just about pick themselves! Certainly until Elima and the new guy is back anyway

No need, as the squad he picked last week did so well.

Kearney
Crookes
Lulia
Walker
Kear
Sammut
Jeffries
Koppy
Diskin
Hargreaves
Whitehead
Bateman
Langley

L'Estrange
Scruton
Joseph/Addy
Burgess

I have a feeling we'll line up like this:

Kearney
Crookes
Lulia
Platt
Kear
Sammut
Jeffries
Koppy
Disko
Hargreaves
Whitehead
Walker
Langley

L'Estrange
Scruton
Burgess
Bateman

debaser, I agree, effort wasn't a fault last week we were just simply outplayed.

I would much rather he picked the same team week in week out obviiously depending on injuries and let the gell together then make changes everyweek.

Jeffries has played better at 7 than 6 in the past

Agreed, defo not a 6.

Well the losers tonight have a ready made excuse. We need time to gel. Unless you mean in the showers.

Any team that signs a new 6 and 7 will take time to get to know each other plays etc....as i said in another post elsewhere what makes it more difficult is when our forwards are not making the ground or getting fast play the balls,

Well Jeffries should have a point to prove tonight. Given the number 6 shirt, dropped from the side to accomodate Sammut and back at his old club.

Agree with the above, should play at Scrum Half though...

MOM performance on the cards? time will tell...

I

Well that certainly explains the 50 points conceded.

no thats due to the defence

How about a team with a completely new back line and the vast majority of the pack being new? That's what you're up against tonight.

A Season

Correct...Hargreaves the pick of the forwards got through a ton of work.
