ok first post on here, so go easy.

What would be your selection for the Wakefield game next weekend? Will Anderson shake things up a bit? My team would be as follows:-

Full back:- Eden (or Murphy, but don't let Grix anywhere near it)

Backs:- McGillvary
Cudjoe
Lawrence (Wardle back in when fit)
George

S/O:- Brough (C)
S/Half:- Robinson

Front Row:- Mason
Lee
Fairbank (for his work rate in defence and the desire he showed in the semi alone)

Second row:- LOD (if fit)
Fa alogo

Loose:- Faiumu

Bench:-
Crabtree
Patrick
Moore (Lunt back for next year - Can we recall him earlier?)
Ferguson or Chan.

Anderson needs to get rid of the the following players for next year:- Brown (going), Grix, Gilmore (going), LOD (someone on his money needs to be playing every week) and Moore (has played well to be fair, but not needed if we can get Lunt back)

Recruitment:- Lunt back, another Prop in addition to Mullally, think someone on here has hinted at getting Brett Hodgson back (if he is available), i know he's getting on but could mentor Eden and be there to guide the team in big games. A class second rower if LOD was to go and an out and out centre, who will add class and experience to our young backs.

so not much then! oh and a loose forward who can slot into the halves if needed to cover injuries.

Pretty much agree with that shame we can't ditch KB now and bring in a loan stand off to liven things up !!!

The interesting thing this week is whether LOD plays is it a bad injury or did he fall out with NB at Castleford where he was one of the few players who could hold up his head.

I suggested getting Brett back to mentor Eden and play in the big games he is out of contract and wants to keep playing but the gamble is a two year contract I believe !!!

Never in a million years would I put eorl on the bench. With the minutes he's playing -and well he's a starter for me.

I like eorl coming off the bench , plus that would mean with his long minutes he is playing against tired players especially in second half. Problem is that we have no other performing props at the moment so he has to start.
Off the bench he is one of the few players we have who can change a games momentum.

Id start Eorl too, needs to be on for as long as possible

Eden deffo at fullback

Otherwise that's pretty much how I'd run it

For me, Sunday's team looks like:

Murphy

McGillvary Cudjoe Lawrence George

Brough Robinson

O'Donnell (if fit)
Fa'alogo Chan
Mason Moore Crabtree

Fairbank
Patrick
Walker
Lee

For me we need to keep Moore next year, with Lunt as the interchange hooker. Maybe keep Lee for cover in the halves?

Don't think I'd have 3 young forwards to bring on, probably mix it up a bit and start Walker and have Mason to bring on. Don't think 3 young lads would be as bigger impact. Watching Sundays performance, creativity is needed including leadership. An experienced half back is needed so broughy can do his own thing, whilst our experienced half back can lead the team round the park.

I dont think we could go far wrong with the enthusiasm of Fairbank and Patrick. For me it's got to be time to drop Gilmour, he has struggled the last two seasons and Bruno can more than adequately fill the centre spot until Wardle returns (we have really missed Joe! his lines and breaks at the start of the year were second to none). Wouldnt mind seeing Molloy/Cording having a run out at some point if they are fit.

We need to get the team fighting for their place again and fighting for the top 8!

Also who plays stand off in the reserves? Time to give them a shot in the first team?

Has Keiron Purtill come in already does anyone know?

Walker won't be playing he's out injured possibly for the season and is also OOC at the end of the season. Not agreed anything with the club yet and it's looking high unlikely that he will unless the club have a change of heart.

Think they are looking at bringing him in early, nothing confirmed yet though.
