your dropping the wrong half back in my opinion

It is calling for McConnell, Marsh, Watson, Durbin at 9,13, 7, 6.
Let Durbin play 9 on attack and McConnell on defence. Marsh puts some size in the back row.

here here

Looks OK to me that. But have proper defenders in their correct positions.

Team should be interesting on Sunday and I think there will be definate changes to the wings. Rudd to come in? Marsh might go into the front row and I think Durbin will start.

Not a bad idea from Maurice to play Jock at 9 when were defending but have both him and Durbin on the pitch.

Marsh will be at 13. Nothing wrong with front row if we play to our strengths, ie with pace from PTB by Durbin and Taylor/armistead being the 4th prop.
Donlan where he should be and Rudd/Higson centres.

so which prop misses out cause we ave 4 props

If Armisteads back my team would be:

Donlan
Mort
Rudd
Higson
Alstead
Durbin
Watson
Hill
O Connell
Hobson
Armistead
Taylor
Marsh

Morrison
Stewart
Reay
Ridyard

What would yours be?

Is Armistead back, I thought I read he was going to be out for longer. Great news if true. I agree about Rudd/Higson in the centres to young, enthuastic and both good tacklers.

so what did Haggerty do wrong? his defensive side went to hell in a handcart when he went off injured, and Stewart couldnt match either his defensive capabilities or his attack.

I agree, I think Haggerty has been a good acquisition for us from Saints and has provided stability in the back row. How much longer have we got him for? I'm guessing that he has been left out of the team sex on legs wrote due to the assumption of Armistead being back for Sunday.

Says in Reporter Haggerty has signed for another months loan and Armistead is unlikely to be fit.

since when do people on this MB pick the team Haggerty's loan period is now on a month to month basis Armistead is out for another month and haggerty won't get picked if he is injured www.leighreporter.co.uk/centurio ... 5106478.jp

Somebody said about changes on the wings.

Jamie Smith looked to be well in the reckoning in pre season... is he worth another shot?

As above but...

2. Maden
4. Raey
6. Marsh
7. Durbin
11. Higson
13. Haggerty

Bench... Rouke, Cookson, Mort

Well if our lads read this board I,ll be at Donny Sunday so don,t have me on here Sunday night telling you you were rubbish.

Andy Hobson, who is brilliant, will read this message board late Sunday evening and by then he will have beaten 2 a pulp any Leyther who doesn,t give 100%.

Armisteads not back, is Cooky? Some have mentioned Cooky to play?


If fit Id go with

Mort
smith
Donlan
higson
Alstead
Durbin
Watson
Hobbson
Mc Connell
Hill
Taylor
Marsh

Maden
Morrison
Cookson
rudd

i must admit watson is tackling alot better than last year, wouldnt play lee marsh tho

regarding the wingers....anyone heard how nicky stanton is going ? is he anywhere near being fit again ? defo in top 2 wingers we have when fit imo.

WHY NOT

I think it is in the reference to Daryl D saying he would not play Lee Marsh

Your a player short. Haggerty at 12 possibly?

Morty was badly exposed at FB on Sunday and Donlan is wasted in the centres.

I thought Rourke got through a lot of work.

I would go with -

Donlan

Alstead
Rudd
Higson
Mort

Durbin
Watson

Hobson
McConnell
Morrison
Taylor
Rourke
Marsh

Maden
Hill
Meekin
Haggerty

I'd go with

Donlan
Mort
Rudd
Reay
Alstead
Durbin
Watson
Morrison
McConnell
Hobson
Higson
Taylor
Marsh

C.Hill
Meekin
Wingfield
Haggerty
