North Wales 14th July.

[jroyales]

Win the next three games and we are close to being champions - starting with North Wales.

The big talking point who will Sean play at 6 and 7?

I'd put Dixon straight in at 1, Pheonix at 6 and leave Logan at 7.

[sheddingswasus]

Fordy said Ellis was fit. 

[jroyales]

How does Ellis being fit solve the number 6 problem?

Because hes a very capable, experienced half? 

[jroyales]

I can't disagree but lacks the pace to cause problems.

[chiefgeneral]

Personally unsure of PLTs distribution at no6. I'd bring Ellis back in and bring Dixon on the wing for Johnson

[herbie]

Dixon and Aggoro on the wings.

Wildy at half

Taylor starting hooker Aldridge on bench

Turner back at centre With Okeefe

Wardle back in second row

[jroyales]

Looks good. Go and tell Sean!

So you are dropping our star try scorer Tyrer? What has he done to deserve that??

Well it's a good job if you think Tyrer should be dropped!

That's a very bold selection.  Dropping a winger topping the entire structure scoring charts and playing a loose forward at hooker.

I sense some inside knowledge.  We'll see on Sunday I suppose.

Yes drop him….in fact cut him….doubt he would find another club who would have him

Certainly out of left field. If that does come about, suggests our friend Herbie definitely has some inside knowledge.

I like this team.

If Craven is out Wildie is the next best option in the halves. Taylor has really struggled in the forwards but has played plenty of hooker before at NRL and international standard. Aldridge has been excellent the last 4 games so I see him playing big mins at hooker. Wardle and Hirst in the second row and Turner and O'Keefe looks our most dangerous options out wide. Very harsh on Tyrer if he's been dropped but its hard to imagine too many changes with Keighley and Rochdale our next two games.

[sheddingswasus]

I am wondering if Cian Tyrer is destined for fullback in the scheme of things with PLT maybe on bench 

[sheddingswasus]

It would be nuts to leave out our number one strike player

Agree with your comments. I think Tyrer has been exceptional this season and deserves to retain his place.

Surely if you're making room for Dixon it's got to be in place of Johnson and not Tyrer who is the top scorer in all 3 leagues

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

I think Dixon, if picked,will be on the bench.

Think if that were the case, he'd be off to the Super League club.

And who would blame him?

[tandle]

oldham will want a transfer fee for him as he is under contract.

till the end of this season and 2025
