i'd go along with that tbh. if platt is fit i'd throw him in and move menzies back to 2nd row with sykes dropping out. agree that godwin deserves a shot at starting hooking role.

In League weekly it says Sculthorpe is out for 2 more months. Great signing

he had back surgery last week. bulls slipped news out at backend of sts team news.

I'd go:



Reardon

Halley

Nero

Crookes

Sheriffe

Kearney

Orford

Scruton

Godwin

Lynch

Langley

Whitehead

Menzies



L'Estrange

Worrincy

Donaldson

Hall



Now, an explanation.

I'd freshen things up in the backline, just for experimental purposes if nothing else. Reardon has won GF's and played international football at FB, and Halley is a great winger, and a clinical executor given the half chance, something we look to be lacking out wide thus far. I'd drop Sykes, as he's quite possibly the worst defending centre in SL, give Crookes a game, he most definitely merits it. The halves stay, give them time they'll click.



As for the forwards, I fail to see what Kopzcak gives to the side, sadly. He just doesn't run his weight, and a spell on the sidelines might kick him into gear. Subsuquently, I'd spell Glenn Hall at prop, with the superb Scruton leading the line. Godwin at 9 just to test L'Estrange as an impact hooker. And Donaldson certainly did not deserve to get dropped on Sunday, so he'd walk back in for me.

No matter how he lines the Team up there is one thing for sure, we don't have a Loose Forward in the Team and haven't had since Forshaw left. Brad McKay was the man on that front. If Donaldson is a Loose then play him. If not then maybe we should go with 2 Hookers at the same time and use a bench spot for a fourth Prop and not Worrincy....

Neither of the Burgii have played first team rugby yet, at least Whitehead has, and as others have said we play Langers at loose when we all know he isn't a LF. I think Whitehead and Langers could switch positions quite easily during the game. Let's be honest it can't hurt our game plan and it might confuse the Cas defence

Unfortunately it would probably confuse our defence too.



If we had one that is...

19 man squad has been announced and it's the same as the last 2 weeks.

Hopefully Donaldson will come in, preferably for Worrincy.

Macca can't seriously be contemplating keeping Worrincy in the 17 again can he?

I didn't think we'd ever contemplate signing him. I was wrong.



I didn't think we'd contemplate putting him in the side without a massive injury crisis. I was wrong.



I didn't think he'd become a regular. I was wrong.



I'm starting to think he's got some kind of incriminating photos of Macca or Hood.



From what I've heard, Mr. Worrincy is a really nice lad. I'm sure it's true. However, no matter how nice a lad he is, he shouldn't be playing Super League for any side that wants to be in the playoffs.
