Fingers crossed then!!!!!!

Same as last week except Currie starts and Harrison on the bench, but with inclusion of Rhys Evans in 19 some will probably wonder if Atkins will be dropped?

Who drops out?
Laithwaite
Rhys Evans/Ryan Atkins

I hope Rhys Evans gets a chance, I hope he takes it though we need competition for left centre. I like Atkins I think on his day he is a real handful but he needs some confidence and to realise there is a fight for his place now. He will be back I am sure and I am hopeful that he will be back to his best but for now I think a break would be beneficial.

Laithwaite
Myler
??

But without Grix.

Thought i said that when i said Currie starts and Harrison on the bench.

Fingers crossed Atkins isnt near the 17

Smith has already said that Ormsby will keep his place, and there's no way he'd rest Monaghan

I'd have to drop Atkins on last weeks showing and GOB who just does not offer anything in a such critical role. I'd go with currie at 6 and Myler 7.

Lol. GOB offers nothing but Myler has? GOB has been the better of the two so far.


Atkins will play, Smith has dropped a b ollock but he won't admit defeat and drop him.

I don’t think Myler's future lies at the Wire.
I'd go with GOB.

Because an obvious lack of a natural kicking game worked so well for us in round 1? Personally I would keep 1,6 and 7 the same until Russell is fit and then hopefully form wise it will be a selection headache for tony smith. Nothing wrong with Myler as a half though we just need to start thinking if him as more of a Danny maguire type back than a briers replacement and then we can start to appreciate his qualities. He doesn't have a natural kicking game but he should still be working on it, as kicking options keep an opposition defence guessing and a little easier to put on the back foot.

Ben Harrison is out for up to 4 weeks, pulled hamstring in training this morning, doesn't look good

What a shocker. Gutted if true.

Looks a bad one apparently, off for a scan over the weekend

Then why name him in the 19 this afternoon ???

If it's true about Harrison, life just got a bit harder. Ben is a player I rate hugely, he (and Carvell) had the best offload game at the club whilst his size and workrate would have been a huge boost to a beleaguered pack.

I don't expect any huge suprises with team-selection and I don't expect anything other a narrow win either way, because both sides need it badly.

Good point

All I know is that they had a team run today, someone put Harrison through a hole and he dropped like a sack of spuds holding his hamstring. Few of the players I've spoken to reckon he will be out for about 4 weeks. I'm sure you will see on match day

ffs

1st time this season wire put a man through a hole too!
Doh!

Well Harrison(obviously) and Evans to miss out for me, last chance saloon for Ryan Atkins.
