Im hearing. Ratch and Williams in the halves. Dean on the bench. Walker dropped.

Dean should be on from the start...if he doesn't even get a few minutes more flak is heading Powell's way

Surely a utility player like ratchford is ideal for the bench? That way we could actually have 2 proper half backs playing for once!

I hope we see the Clark of old today in that case. 80 minutes of running threat, and 80 mins of solid defence without even breaking a sweat. I would have had Walker coming on when the Cats forwards tire in the heat.

I like the idea of Dean getting some time though. He's an unknown quantity for the opposition, and he seems the sort of player who might spring something unexpected from his bag of tricks. I would think Ratch can go to hooker when Dean comes on, if Clark is tiring.

I did ponder whether I should have used the Slashie term...

Exactly, he should be filling in through a crisis, or sat on the bench. Dean's available at HB, play him there, rather than have him sat on the bench as Williams could still be carrying an injury.
