Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Are you hedging your bets that we get reduced to 12 again 😂 .

I don’t see them beating us. We only loose this game if we don’t have the right attitude defensively.

That would be the line up I would go with.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Peet will put Walters in the centre though.

Hope he doesn't pay Walters at centre, think that side would be too slow especially with Miski. He needs to spend the week with Eckersley and I think it could work really well. He's quick, good in defense and a proper centre. Plus wire don't know what to expect.

Plus can't see Peet picking Hill over Byrne.

Team almost selects itself now.
Field,
Miski, Eckersley, Wardle, Marshall,
French, Smith,
Havard, O'Neil, Thompson,
Farrell, Nsemba,
Ellis.

Cooper, Mago, Leeming Walters.

Pace and power all over the place. I reckon MP will go with Eckersley at centre with Mike Cooper off the bench replacing Dupree. Walters off the bench as he can play prop or 2nd row if/when required.

That would be my team also. Cooper over Byrne and Hill if he's fit enough.

I do think he’ll go with Eckersley tbh. That might not have been the case had he struggled at Wire but he looked a real threat and having that bit of an unknown element is no bad thing.

I think the selection decision is basically 2 spots between Byrne, Walters, Cooper and Hill. I’d go Walters and Hill but I expect it’ll be Byrne and one of Walters or Cooper (probably Walters).

Seems like a straight choice between the props to me. Four of the available group. Or maybe 5 if peet leaves Walters out.
