Obviously our attack needs a shake up and with this not being a knock out game I think we are ok to take some risks. Goulding didn't look fit to me and we need a creative 13 to suit our style of play so I would go:

1. Sam
2. Charnley
3. Gelling
4. Thornley
5. Richards
6. Hampshire
7. Smith
8. Mossop
9. McIlorum
10. Flower
11. Hansen
12. Farrell
13. Green

14. Taylor
15. Tuson
16. A.Powell
17. Crosby

He was sick all week and was on a drip before the game, he shouldnt have even played.

Really don't think Green could cope with the defence required from 13.

I'd go:

Sam
Charnley
Goulding
Thornley
Richards
Hampshire
Smith
Flower
Logan
Mossop
Hansen
Farrell
McIlorum

Taylor
Crosby
Tuson
Green

I agree. I also think our back row 3 is lightweight enough without Green being there too.

What's happened to Greg Burke ?

Yeah I agree. We've tried other options and its not worked.
We could even consider Sam Tomkins at loose forward with Hampshire at full back. Sam, i feel, has the experience and game awareness to cope with the position and lead the team from the front.

Leeds made the second most meters against us last week of any team all season. The back 3 are too lightweight and we need a bit of grunt and that x-factor...why cant we play Hock? Isn't he our player til the end of the season? He's worth including despite some of his shortcomings. Plus I'd bring back Burke a loose forward to replace Lockers.

Sometimes I don't really know what planet some people live on that post on this forum. Green at 13? Logan at 9? Mcllorum at 13? Sam Tomkins at 13???? Bring back Hock?



The mind boggles, you lot are on crack, go have a lie down.

We'll just go with green and smith in the halves, Tuson or flower at 13, mcilorum at 9 and spelled by the clock with Logan, then we can sit back and watch the same dross that wev been treated to for the last 3 months. Wane needs to do something different, that is apparent. People are offering their suggestions of how he can do this. If you don't agree then fair enough, don't think you need to start asking what planet people are on though.

Assuming Goulding won't be fit.

I've been suggesting Smith to 9 at interchange for ages.

Tomkins
Charnley Gelling Thornley Richards
Green Smith
Mossop McIlorum Crosby
Hansen Farrell
Flower

Taylor Powell Tuson Hampshire

He does need to do something different. Playing players in the positions quoted is not the answer. Unfortunately we don't have the personnel to change things around, that's just life. You will sit back and watch Green and Smith at 6/7, Tuson/Flower at 13, Mickey at 9 spelled by Logan, that's it. Why would he change and experiment with the line-up in the most important game of the season? It's a shame, but we have no other options
