Sunday is our first league match of the season and our form has been less than inspiring so far,Hunslet game aside. With our two first choice wingers already out we need all the experience we can get but St Hilaire suffered an injury in last weeks game and will be out. This is the squad for Sundays game.

Backs: Ben Heaton, Alistair Williams, Michael Diveney, Matthew Fogarty, Jack Bradbury, Neil Roden, Mark Brocklehurst, Matty Ashe.

Forwards: Jason Boults, Dave Ellison, Martin Roden, Andy Isherwood, Danny Whitmore, Chris Clarke, Luke Sutton, Valu Bentley, Liam Gilchrist, Ben Wood, John Clough, Tom Wood-Hulme, Paul Noone.

Williams should come into the centres in place of St Hilaire but that is an extremely inexperienced back line with 4 or the five backs being under 21. In the pack I'd give Gilchrist a game. he had an impressive pre season and Ellison has had a very poor start to the year so I would swap those two. I'd drop M.Roden and start with Whitmore who hardly seems to have played so far this year. I'd keep the back row the same and hope Wood's performance last week was a one off as it was an absolute shocker. The last bench spot would be fought between Bentley and Isherwood with Andy winning so far on this seasons performance.

Omitted from Squad - Carry the water boys - M.Roden ,Gilchrist ,Ashe ,Bentley

But also Shaun Robinson (winger) or Lewis Brooks(winger) both done well in reserves , why? not given squad chance or can they be now that reserves game called off

anyone know where Johnny Walker disappeared to ??

[m brooksy]

Walker is definitely injured, hamstring I think.

I think I'd go for Wood at centre for Sunday and Isherwood at second row with Bentley or Clarkey at loose forward.

I'd give the rest of the team another chance to perform.
