After last weeks superb performance against Whitehaven we face another difficult game against an ever improving London side. They've beaten both Rochdale and Keighley in recent weeks and will be a tough challenge.

On the injury front we have obviously lost Ellison for a significant period of time while Fogarty will miss this game due to an elbow injury but should be back for the next game. For this i'd move Brocky inside to the right centre position and bring Gillam onto the wing with Robinson moving over to the left hand side. To replace Ellison on the bench I'd bring in either Isherwood or Wood.
My team would be
Heaton
Robinson
Brocky
McCully
Gillam
Roden
Forber
Boults
M.Roden
Stenchion
Bravo
Noone
Bentley

Clough
Casey
Sutton
Wood/Isherwood

Hi Brooksy

A couple of changes on my side here goes.


Heaton
Robinson
Brocky
McCully
Gillam
Roden
Forber
Boults
M.Roden
Stenchion
Bravo
Noone
Casey


Clough
Isherwood
Sutton
Bentley

I'd have Casey on from the start at loose and then use Sutton, Bentley and Isherwood as interchange props. But, as always, I'd be happy if your team was announced on the day.

Squad: Heaton, Brocklehurst, McCully, N Roden, Robinson, Gillam, St Hilaire, Forber, Casey, Clough, Ward, Sutton, Boults, Stenchion, M Roden, Bentley, Bravo, Noone, Isherwood.

Looks like Gillam to the wing and Brocky moving inside to centre or straight swap with St Hilaire for Fogarty. Isherwood picked over Wood probably for his ability to play at prop.

McCully
Robinson
Ratty
Forber

N.Roden
Stenchion
Bravo
Noone
Casey

Subs

Neil Roden twice? Know he's good but stand off AND hooker thats good lol.

Personally I think it would be better to straight swap Foggy for Junior. To move Brocky out of where he has been so effective this season I think would be a mistake.

Hi cockcy3

Well spotted with Roden - should have been M Roden at Hooker. I would still leave Brocky on the wing and have Junior at centre, brocky is a great finisher.

I think Brocky is a much better centre than winger. When he plays on the wing he doesn't get involved enough compared to Gilly or Robinson. At right centre you still get his finishing ability but he also impacts upon the game more in terms of carries and defensive work.
