No McIlorum or Sarge. Good to have lockers back. Id go:

Bowen
Manfredi
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess
Hampshire
Smith
Taylor
Williams
Dudson
Hughes
Bateman
O'Loughlin

Crosby
Powell
Sutton
James

think Powell will be at 6 as he didn't do anything wrong last game, Hudds are a big team so he might go 3 props on the bench and a 2nd row who covers the backs as well

I think Powell will start at 6, possibly with Hamsphire on the bench. When you look at the stats from the Salford game, Williams made 38 tackles with 0 misses and Powell made 28 with 1 miss, I really don't think Hampshire could cope with that sort of defensive work in the line.

Shame Flower and Farrell aren't back, would have been good for them to get a game under their belt before Cas. Pettybourne seems to have been "back this week" for about a month now!

Bowen
Manfredi
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess
Powell
Smith
Taylor
Williams
Crosby
Bateman
Hughes
O'Loughlin

Sutton/James
Dudson
Burke
Hampshire

Connor Farrell keeps making the 19 and is unlucky not to have featured while we've had so many injuries, but I'd prefer to see us try and build some momentum for the cup QF and play as strong a squad as possible this week.

I would rest Smith & Bateman

Bowen

Manfredi
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess

Hampshire
Williams

Taylor
Powell
Dudson
Hughes
Connor Farrell
Burke

Bench:
Sutton
James
Crosby
O'Loughlin

Difficult to pick a team, given the changes to the final 17 compared to the 19 man squads in the last couple of weeks. Guess we'll have to wait and see who pops up on Thursday.

Hope Hampshire gets a go at 6. He should be in the team every week either at FB or SO while Green is out IMO

Agreed. Powell at 9 or interchanging with Williams at hooker I reckon.

My 17 FWIW!

Bowen,
Manfredi, Goulding, Gelling, Burgess,
Powell, Smith,
Taylor, Williams, Dudson,
Bateman, Hughes,
O'Loughlin.
Bench - Crosby, James, Burke, Hampshire.

When George is interchanged Powell or Smith to replace him with Rocky going to half back!

Thats pretty much what I would go with, apart from swapping Sutton for James.

Hudds have dropped two of their big players and given one away on loan. Eorl a ex hooker a second row and a rookie will make up our front row.

I just hope O'Loughlin isnt coming back too soon. From his last few injuries he has only played a game or two and been out again and I'd rather he just came back when he was properly right.
