Having looked at the squad and been to the friendlies, who do we think will make the 17, most of squad picks itself but hard to judge

for me

1) Murphy
2) George
3) Gleeson
4) Millard
5) Morton

6) jeffries
7) Brough



Tronc
9) Obst
10) Korkidas
11) Ferguson
12) Morrison
13) Demetriou


14) Newton
15) latu
16) Moore
17) Johnson

King and bibb to miss out even though it leaves us light on the interchange, although tronc traditionally playes the 80, johnson looks fit and played well against hunslet, thought bib once again pedestrian, king played ok, am assuming blanch is injured and kear not risking mb without a warm up game

Good enough to take the quinns - I think so ONLY 5 more Sleeps to WAKEY!!!

totally agree

1 2 and 3 bang on the money.

I'm in complete agreement too. Faced with a straight choice between Sam or Latu I would also consider that coming of the bench you would imagine coaches are looking for someone who can take a clear message or tactical approach out on to the field with them. Over a number of seasons now Latu does not give me the comfort that he is a disciplined and organised individual who could do this however as stated elsewhere Sam has consistently shown himself to be a very dedicated team man.

Sam every time in the 17 if fit!

Interesting that no one is going for bibb, who really should be pushing for a place, agree that jd was poorish at hunslet but he did play most of the game, so would be surprised if fit, he doesnt play. For me u just have to play sam from the bench or the start.

Johnson has been training proving his fitness and played most of game at hunslet - was probably best of fully fledged players - not sure if he has the pace to play in centre - did wonder if jd might feature on wing dropping morton, allowing another forward on bench - probably henderson - whatever happens think the bench will be smal, Tronc to play whole game and one rotational prop - moore? henderson, obst, moore, latu on bench perhaps

J D definately out for sat.
