Plenty of options without Walker, Fitzy and Cockayne anywhere in the backs, both cover hooker, if needs been Murrell to hooker, Galea or Cooke to loose man, Galea to stand off, Vella at prop, could move to second row, should I go on?

Rhys Lovegrove
Mick Vella
Daniel Fitzhenry
Chev Walker

I'd like to see Vella come off the bench, he's been coming off early when he's started recently so I'd bring him on at around 20 mins.

I wouldnt go with both Fitz and Ben on the bench, enough options with just one of them.

It's not benefical to the team to have to change several positions with just one interchange though.
and for what its worth chev and fitz have played really well over the past few weeks

He has but is usually on for the 5-6 mins before half time when Fozzard is off, probably to add a bit of leadership just before half time. As for Ben, looking at our squad, if fully fit I can't see a spot for him although i think he is a very good player, he just isn't the number one player in any one position plus Justn does not seem to like using him in derby games unless on magic weekend maybe thinking he might struggle with the hostile atmosphere that derby's tend to bring.

What? Tell me why they've played poorly? Fitz has scored three tries in 4/5 games i think

Hardly means he is playing well though does it?

Fitzhenry hasn't been so bad, but I've not noticed Walker do anything in 18 months to justify us signing him. Just my opinion, but I don't feel he's contributed anything different to what a young upcoming player would have done.
If I was Justin I would def have chose Cockayne over Walker for Sat, no comparison in terms of heart and enthusiasm.

Tbh although I don't rate Cockayne very highly ability wise, he certainly makes up for that in effort, and I for one am quite pleased to see him excluded from the squad.

Wasn't he dropped last time around too?

Aint sure but I'd certainly rather Chev Walker was playing

Says it all really!

The trouble with Ben is he has a knack of undoing all he's good at with a rush of blood and giving away a string of pens that totally kill us. Fitzy has been improving at hooker and has played really well over the last few weeks.

Walker looks good in short spells, just doesn;t look fit and is blowing after 15mins and starts to miss tackles. I'm assuming he's picked walker over Ben as Walker can cover 2nd row as well as centre.

Agreed. Chev has not lived up to the reputation he had and I don't think there's been one game where he really stood out, has he ever had MOM?

I understand that not everyone in the squad can fit into the match day 17, but can anyone tell me what Ben has done that merits dropping out of the 17 when Fitzy and Chev are in?

Fitzy has scored a few tries lately, well good for him, but that does not necessarily mean he's had a good game. He's in the squad now and no doubt will spend more time at Hooker than our Hooker will so I hope he has a stormer but don't tell me he offers more than Charlie week in week out because that's nonsense!

It's our little guys that will do most of the damage.

Hull only have 3 props in their squad, including King & Moa, who are short stint players with poor lateral movement....they'd have had a mare against Charlie.

Can't help thinking Justin's missed a trick here.

Almost certain he's never been MOM mate. Tbh I reckon the union stint killed him (similar to the way it did Harris).

Agree totally about Cockayne - thought he was excellent standing in at full-back last week, and certainly adds more versatility to the squad then Fitz or Walker, but clearly Morgan must like/rate them both higher.

For me Walker can cause more damage up the middle with his size(i know he hasn't in parts) than what charlie can whilst fitzhenry is probably more consistant in the hooking role than charlie usually making better decisions (or less brain explosions you decide

).

I understand the possible thinking and in most parts agree but its a good thing to have a very good squad player like charlie.

Maybe Justin's concerned about him trying too hard and getting sinbinned or sent off?

Good value for money that anger management therapy...

Maybe Justin's picking horses for courses.....and rotating the squad.
Rovers need to employ this policy for the harder league games and the play off's
