| Would play Crookes at fullback. Has always seemed to have decent positioning in the games I've seen him play so far, and is very good at running the ball back so could do well there. It would also mean a back three of Crookes, Lineham, Briscoe, which is very pacey.
Whiting's good at fullback, but I would prefer to either keep him in the forwards or use him in the halves.
Crookes
Lineham
Arundel
Crooks
Briscoe
Whiting
Horne
Lynch
Houghton
O'Meley
Tickle
Westerman
Galea
Heremaia
Watts
Johnson
Pitts/Green/Bowden
Still not confident, though, as the team looks patchy in places.

| I was at the Saints game and the one high ball Crookes had to take he dropped. Not a massive amount to go off I concede.
We're just second guessing Gentle really, if he sticks with Heremaia in the halves the FB slot goes to Rich Whiting, but if he doesn't then Rich plays with Horney and we've no choice but to play one of Tom or Cropokes at Fb and I can't see him changing that again, so reckon we'll see Briscoe still there.
By the way if he does stick with Heremaia at 7, I think PG must be watching a different game to us lot. I'm beginning to see why his previous UK stints were with leigh now. A replacement hooker at best. Thanks Mr Agar.

| No doubt we are up against it.
However, even at full strength, stopping/restricting Dobson is key, always has been since he has played for them.
If we can keep our discipline, but get out the line at breakneck speed and consistantly put his kicks under pressure, I feel is our biggest chance.
Plus if he is carrying a dodgy hamstring make sure the shoulder goes into it hard in the tackle.
IMO they would have lost to Cas without him, stopping him is still key even with all our key players out.

I agree with him not being a 7, but I actually think Heremaia is a GOOD hooker. Unfortunately, he has never had a consistent run there. I'd like to see how many consecutive games he's actually played at hooker (either starting or off the bench), I bet it's not many at all.
I genuinely believe if Aaron had a good run of games sharing the hooking role with Houghton we would have one of the best hooking partnerships in the league.

IMO
Aaron has the better distribution than Danny, but no-one can dispute Danny's work-rate.
For mine,IF Danny can improve his distribution, he would be a GB hooker .

| I think I would go with Whiting at FB, as we know he can do a job. We may be taking too much of a risk having Crookes there

It would be a bit of a risk but I think we need to take one with the situation as it is. I also think Crookes deserves a place based on his pre-injury form. Plus it's not risk free putting RW there and we lose his presence elsewhere if we do.

Agree fully, a sustained run with interchanging them both would be a great partnership. I think Houghton has to get his head around the fact he can't be playing 80 mins first though. That's what has effected his game a bit and he needs to adjust his mind-set. Having said that, he was exceptional again against London.

Whiting at fullback for me, would prefer Horne but we need him at halfback as our only recognisable halfback there. Crookes would be a risk imo.
I think Houghton will need spelling so important to have Heremaia off the bench.
The forwards look good, the back line looks good. The only issue is 1,6 & 7. Rovers should in for me but we won last year with a depleted side.

| By own admission you have a stronger pack, we have a 'mobile' pack. Paea, Evarn, Walker, Lovegrove will be our props, with Mika, Paterson, Griffin and Horne the other forwards. Power you should have us, experience id also say you have massive over us.
Then the backs, we have Eden, Brown both not that proven yet, had a couple of good games between them so far. Eden could be fantastic or could have a gaff in him, but thats the kid, he will get better. Craig Hall could be the key if fit, having those 2 and the halves could keep us moving.
Saying that, your backs are quick! its just if they can defend, we will score points if we get in your half, if you make mistakes (Gentle has pointed out your not throwing the ball around) and get penalised then i see Rovers scoring around 30 if not a touch more. If you keep your discipline, little to no errors and you actually move the ball then i can see the game been fairly tight but Rovers will have 1 or 2 15min period where we go to sleep, thats when the damage will be done, Rovers score late to flatter the scoreline and FC win by 6pts ish.
But i think Rovers will ease this one, mainly due to points scored. Rovers mid defence has been decent, its on the line and out wide the problem. outwide higher up hasnt been that bad. Only catalan cut through to score a long range try this season, the rest have been inside the 40 zone. If we can keep the pens down then we have the chance to put a score on with field position. Opening 20 will tell you everything.

What about McDonnell. Can't see him making an appearance unfortunately.
