Hopefully all of us think we can win, but whether we will win is a different matter. Depends entirely on who's fit to play. We're starting to run a bit short of players, we could desperately do with at least one recognised prop forward.

Possible team could be:

Rads
Dallas
Aspinwall
Wild
Colbon
O'Loughlin
Robinson
Cassidy
Newton
Farrell (c)
Tickle
Hock
M.Smith

Hodgson
Prescott
Hargreaves
Beswick

Can we win with that team? I think we can if our forwards get on top but we can't expect Farrell to play 80 minutes at prop every week and keep doing it week after week! It is too much, even for a player of Farrell's standard and the intensity may catch up with him if he is asked to do it too often.

However, Prescott and Hargreaves are going to struggle against a big pack, they are only teenagers and to play at prop forward against experienced men like Hull have, is too much for kids like them and it could damage their careers before they have even got started!

It is a big ask, but if Farrell and Newton can get on top then maybe we can pull a win, or at least a draw, out of the bag!
