The Team

[Simon]

The team I posted here before I edited is not the actual team. Apologies.

I do however wonder how the 3/4 line will stack up this week with Gasnier out. Simmonds, Youngquest, Blacklock, Carlaw, Gasnier, Timmins, Creagh are all viable options.

 

[Jamesy]

Easy. Blacklock, Carlaw, Cooper, Simmonds. Its a non-contest.

Galuvao has been cleared of a dislocated shoulder, and Wesser only suffered a cork apparently.

You could be right, but only 17 have been named.

Hopefully that want they'll end up doing RWD04.
Someone's going to miss out. Poore perhaps. And how ready is Bailey?

Bailey is the big worry for me i know performance wise hell go okay but he is taking a really big risk,If he re-injures himself i think we are in big trouble

And no point having out there for 10 minutes.

Naming Bailey on a 5 man bench alongside Poore shows that they're giving him every chance.

On match day I expect that we'll see Timmins move back to where he belongs at Lock, and Carlaw in the run-on side at Centre.

That would see a bench of two front rowers and two utilities:
Sims
Bailey
Withers
Creagh

All pure speculation offcourse.

Why arent you the coach willow exactly how i would like to see it

lol.. coach - the hired hit man's friend. No thanks. :lol:

I think Timmins will go fine at centre. He doesn't pass but he's on Blacklocks wing, and Blacklock will likely be on the other side of the field anyway.

Yes but i feel any play that goes out to timmins will be a dead play or may as well be counted as a voulintary tackle because the opposition knows exactly what will happen when he has got the ball. i think he is more suited to lock personally it suits his style of play.
