Mine would be

Craven
Wainright
Faal
Turner
Buchanan
Wandless
Brambani
Hirst
Walker
England
Spicer
Cosgrove
Roberts

Brooks
Menzies
Lockwood
Hayes

I think Wandless has a lot of flair something Pat lacks, he sometimes seems a tad indecisive to me but I would give him a stint at hooker and see how he copes.

Mine would start with checking who has a valid passport.

Two bobs looks knackered, so I wouldn't include him until he gets somewhere near fit. Still think patch would be better at 13, would like to see brambani at 6 where he would have a bit more time to do some real damage, and I think james w has shown more go forward than any other prop in the friendlies so far, and deserves a place over keegan who still doesn't run his weight. Faal hasn't done too badly this time, but it worries me that we haven't signed a quality replacement for him if, as seems very possible, he goes on extended holiday.

Can't say I agree with leaving Roberts out of the line up Grumpy, he's got two things we're going to need this season, experience and a big mouth to go with it. Just watch him, he never shuts up, organising the line and encouraging the rest of the team. In my mind that's something we've lacked at times. Having said that, I'll be interested to see who Warren selects for the Toulouse game, we owe them one for nicking the game last season.

[Crown Flatter]

I would exclude Roberts too, as he doesn't seem to me, to be fit.

My team selection: The coach's likely team;

1 Craven 1 Craven
2 Buchanan 2 Wainwright
3 Faal 3 Faal
4 Turner 4 Turner
5 Wainwright 5 Buchanan
6 Walker (Pat) 6 Walker
7 Brambani 7 Brambani
8 England 8 Hirst
9 Horton 9 Brooks
10 Bibb 10 England
11 Spicer 11 Spicer
12 Lockwood 12 Lockwood
13 Hayes 13 Roberts

14 Tonks 14 Horton
15 Menzies 15 Menzies
16 Walker (James) 16 Emblem
17 Cosgrove 17 Cosgrove

Score: Toulouse 24 - 16 Dewsbury
Att: 1245

Can anyone confirm James Walker got a ban [2 games] and fine so can't play this week , did friendly at Featherstone count as one match ban , as he was sent off in reserve game at Wakefield ?
