Quote -VIKINGMAN-="-VIKINGMAN-"Vikings from: Ah Van, Allen, Brown, Cahill, Clarke, Craven, Flynn, Hanbury, Hock, Isa, Kavanagh, Leuluai, Marsh, Mellor, O'Carroll, Owens, Pickersgill, White, Winterstein.
So hock, brown and marsh return.
Injured: phelps, cross, Joseph, Gerrard.'"
And Dean. Pity as he has been playing well this year.
Quote -VIKINGMAN-="WirralViking"A better 19 than against Wigan, which suggests that we can put out a decent 17. One weakness will be in the centres. Marsh coming back is great news, but the continued absence of Phelps and the loss of Dean means we are likely to go with Isa, who to be fair didn't play badly against Wigan, but he just doesn't offer very much in attack.
My guess would be Hanbury, Ah Van, Isa, Marsh, Owens, Brown, Mellor, O'Carroll, Clarke, Pickersgill, Hock, Allen, Cahill, with White, Winterstein, Kavanagh and Leuluai on the bench.
Unless DB decided to go for a more radical reshuffle with Owens at fullback, Ah Van and Flynn on the wings Marsh and Brown in the centres, Hanbury at 6 and Mellor at 7, forwards and bench as above! It would be nice to be able to fit Craven in on the bench to give him the chance to redeem himself after a poorish game against Wigan, but I am not sure that we can swap either White or Leuluai for him at the moment, given we only have 3 recognised props!'"
Like the shape of your second set of backs but suggest that Betts will go for your first choice 17 with Flynn and Craven missing out.
