I'd go:
Moss
Clare
Walshaw
Welham
Ryan
Charnock
Addy
Sidlow
AoB
Clough
Olbison
Ferguson
Pitts
Lumb
Clark
Lauaki
Haggerty/Mellor
Oakes and one of Haggerty/Mellor to miss out. I'd be tempted to give Mellor a go on Sunday and rest Haggerty for Wednesday.

The squad screams of rotation. Regardless of opposition, playing 2 games in 4 days, and 3 games in 8 days is always going to be hard on the same 17. Perfect time to use the stupidly large squad we have.

FT: Sheffield Eagles 10-24 Batley Bulldogs.
Next Sunday we need to keep an eye on Dom Brambani/Pat Walker and their kicking game. Constantly turning kicking into space, turning Sheffield around and then using their big back Hirst, Gledhill, Chandler, Lillycrop and Brown to restrict the Eagles momentum.
I interviewed John Kear after the game and his summation of next weekend's game was "biggest game of our season, one which the Bulldogs can't afford to lose."
The next eight days are crucial and the way fixtures are lined up against the Bulls, one feels we need all six points to then be in control of our own destiny.

So why name him in the 19?
I'd rest Olbison and would be happy to see both Ryan and Oakes start, Lumb and Mellor on the bench. Give youth a chance. |

Agreed about Brambani, Walker, and Southernwood for that matter. They have transformed a workmanlike, 'honest' team into a good one. We, at Leigh, had two almighty tussles with them this season, and their win against us, up at The Mount, was no 'first day fluke'. They were good. They also know just how to frustrate the life out of their opponents - so beware! |

That's where the game will be won and lost next week - in the halves.
It's fustrating to see so many of our former players return and come back to haunt us. |

Curiously, many of ours seem subdued when they play against us. I wonder if we'll come across Ryan Brierley in the Qualifiers? |

Why didn't he probably go to the game? Do you know something I don't?  |
