Bridge is just settling in at 3 and has not impressed at 6 so I'd leave him where he is. In fact, I wouldn't change the backs at all. Mather has experience at 6 so he can slot in there without disturbing a set of backs that has begun to work well. No point playing Clarke out of position, either.

Does Briers ever play against Hull K.R?

He try's his best not to because he's frightened of Stanley Gene plus he doesn't like playing against his future clubs.

I would leave Chris Bridge at right centre, personally i would go with Vinnie Anderson at 6 to partner Michael Monaghan and play Matty Blythe at 13. I wouldn`t move Clarke into the half backs as Micky Higham doesn`t seem to last the 80 and is more of an impact player, the options with that squad are very limited.

Briers has played in the last 5 games vs Hull KR.

Well said!

Your wrong here.

If you were to go with my team, Grix could replace Higham and play in the centre so Bridge can play at Hooker then Higham doesn't play the 80 mins, alternatively Monaghan to hooker and Bridge to number 7 and Grix in the centre.

You really do let yourself down.

This is what I reckon too, only with Woody starting and Rah on the bench.

we aint gonna win end off but enjoy the trip those who are goinglol

Reilly
Hicks
Bridge
King
Johnson
Grix
Monaghan
Carvell
Higham
Wood
Westwood
V Anderson
Harrison

Rauhihi
Cooper
Clarke
Blythe

I thought Reilly looked suspect against Hudds, and was considering replacing him with Mathers.
Id have Grix at 6, Clarke can come off the bench for Higham.
Harrison can stay at loose (V impressed against Bradford) with V Anderson moving into the back row.
Carvell moved up to replace Morley with Cooper slotting on the bench.
Blythe to replace Louis but start on the bench.

Missing three key players is too much to lose, especially those three playing very well. Still think KR will win.

Grix played at stand off on Rauhihi Day.

I wish you would shut up with this drivel please...? Pretty please?

with all due respect to our opposition that above team is still good enough to beat Hull Kr....

We are going to struggle with an effective territorial kicking game though and I cannot believe the potential for attacking spark from Monas and Clarke will cause many sleepless nights in the Hull KR camp.

No dispespect, remind me where your team are in the table again.

No Disrespect but remind of the result on March 22nd?? on the back of our worst start to a season for years?????

I've just had a look back over some of the past superleague tables to work out average final placings....you seem to be missing from quite a few super league tables.

So I'll say as a ball park figure your usually considerably $hitter than us....

What a Godawful set of unnecessary complications!!! Since when has Bridge been a hooker?? Haven't you noticed he's been good at No 3 recently? Grix is not a back, he's a back-row forward, so a poor substitute for Bridge at centre.

It's disruptive enough losing Briers: a wise coach will keep the shape of the rest of the team as consistent as possible with the one that has won its last two games.

all a bit gung ho considering HKR are doing perfectly well while you guys are threatening to turn the corner from an abysmal start to the season.

Was about to post something similar myself. I think 1-5 should remain the same, maybe play V. Anderson at 6 and slot Grix into the back row. Think asking Mathers to play at 6 on his debut would be a big ask, use him from the bench as cover.
Clarke shouldn't be anywhere near 6 or 7 and should start at 9 with Higham interchanging.

Mathers won't play - period!!!!!

In all fairness that looks very very weak.

Well don't you worry your little head about it..
