With all the healthy debate over the past few days on the merits of the Knights performance at the Hunslet Hawks, will Coach Thorman be bold and change the team or will he give the players one more chance to prove their worth?

Injurries permitting.

1) Tansey
2) Bush
3) Garside
4) Ford
5) Heliwell
6) Thorman
7) Turner
8) Freer
9) Gay
10) Stearman
11) Broughton
12) Hemmings
13) King
14) Aldous
15) Elliot
16) Howard
17) Lee

Nice enough.

I don't think Broughton will be playing as he's dual reg, so I'd maybe stick Davey Burns in for the extra York born commitment we've all been wanting.

I'd start with Aldous instead of Stearman - Jack can do last 20 of each half. If his offload game is good enough, those 4 Sheffs it'll take to fell him will open a large enough gap to put Turner through, especially if Aldous has worn them down abit before hand.

I'm looking forward to this match. Nothing to lose really have we? Might as well go all out. Sheff are coming in off Featherstone allowing them 60 and will be thinking it'll be a breeze.

Hope there's a decent crowd getting behind what is likely to be a very different team

Shadow

Like the changes you suggest, big Jack, Howard, Davey Burns and Gay definitely worth a run, as Andy H says nothing to lose so why not let them have a go at a big Sheffield pack.

Won't be there on Sunday, nothing to do with dummy out, away from Sunday lunchtime all week with work, back for Batley.

Whats wrong with using the ''Sunday v Sheffield topic''?
Was put there for a reason.....

Team wise, think you can forget the dual-reg lads this weekend
& how can you leave Sully out?? For me, there will be a few playing
for their futures, but Sully isn't one of them...

It's a personal preference but I'd start with Nath and Benno and use the others off the bench and, by way of response John, I agree...

Think we all need to forget last week (apart from the players) and give the team
the support they will really need on Sunday, just try & keep any negative comments
between ourselves & try to help build the confidence up in a few of our lads.

Sounds like Sheffield could have a few missing, Duane Straff, Brown & the full-back
with the very long name.....

I'm afraid it's work for me today, although I'll be back for the Batley game. Some come on the Knights, give us a performance we can be proud of wether we win, lose or draw.
