Any idea when this is announced? Wonder if we will see a few changes? Anyone know of any injury worries?

Normally around 2pm

please god let Radford be dropped so Moa can show us what he is about Please

I thought you already knew what Moa was about:

Have you borrowed Mrs B's quote index for the day?

Yeah. I nicked it while she was perusing Rovers' accounts.

Berrigan, T Briscoe, Calderwood, Cusack, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Horne, Houghton, Lauaki, Long, Manu, Moa, O’Meley, Radford, Tansey, Tickle, Turner, Whiting, Yeaman

If Agar intends to play Whiting at centre for this game then that seems fair enough to me. As far as I can see with Hall its a case of play him at centre or not at all.

Hope it's because of a slight injury and not soley becauseof his performance against Wigan.

It depends on Agar's thinking on the centre position in my view. If he thinks Whiting is a better bet for centre then dropping Hall for Calderwood is fair enough IMO however it does seem a little unfair to drop him on performance grounds when he was playing out of position.

I said after the Wigan game my only worry was that Hall would be scapegoated. Seems I was right to be worried.

once and for all I can then shut moa lovers like you up when again he is proved to be a plodder... i hope i am wrong as i was about Horne however Moa never started with class Horne did

Thin you will find it is simply replacing a stand in winger with a specialist winger nothing more.
Calderwood is a bonus , Hall was a stop gap at wing

Which is basically what I've said.

I'm not sure he has been scapegoated tbh. That centre spot has hardly been nailed down by anyone yet so if Whiting is deemed a better bet for centre then it is simply replacing one winger for another.

Hall has done a decent job so far this season imo. All of our backs had a tough day at the office last week and as you say Hall was out of position. Agar needs to handle this situation very carefully if he has dropped Hall on the back of his last performance, especially when you factor in the confidence issues that Hall suffered due to been dropped last year, again having been asked to play out of position.

All players will be dropped at some time, but I just hope that all the progress that Hall has made over the past 6 months or so is not lost and that he has become a stronger person and can handle the situation slightly better.

But Hall should be first choice centre. Agar has gone for a "solid" centre instead of one who will cause problems. I can see why he might favour Whiting against the likes of Leeds or Wigan even if I wouldn't neccessarily agree with him, but Hall could have had a field day against Bradford and instead he will spend another week being wasted in the reserves and we will take a nother step closer to losing one of the most exciting talents in the competition.

For me ,Radford and Turner to miss out.
For Agar, Moa and Turner to miss out.

I agree that I'd prefer Hall at centre however the point I'm trying to make is that just because he isn't doesn't mean he has been scapegoated.
Agar for whatever reason has left Whiting at centre and simply replaced last weeks winger with a specialist winger in Calderwood. Seems fair enough to me.

Why not give Briscoe a break instead? Never gets dropped, regardless of how he plays. I have no doubt he'll get peppered with bombs yet again and will fail to cope with most of them. He's a liabilty when defending them due to his height. He stands to far infield on the last tackle in our danger zone. Maybe due to lack of communication with his centre.

Agars love child perhaps?

problem is that most of the problems he causes are due to his awful defence!!!
no one doubts his talent with the ball but thats only half the match , its when every team run straight at hall he is exposed!!!

Radford out , Hall out , turner in , Moa in, lets go!!!

I can see him putting Turner Centre and Calderwood wing like he did in the friendly against Rovers and maybe Whiting on the bench.

Who are you replacing to put Turner in, Hall isn't in the squad.

Not a bad shout that actually.

I think Hall’s defensive play has improved significantly since last year to be honest.
