What a headache!

Our 19 seems to be getting harder to whittle down to 17 and we are still Amos, Ocarroll, Fielden and Tuson back yet!

There is no obvious dropouts there which shows what kind of health our club is in at the moment. As a coach it must be a nightmare to work out who to drop but a very very welcome nightmare

Personally id drop hock in place before cross. He isn't match fit and while i agree he needs games to get fit this maybe too much of an ask as it will be higher paced than superleague matches (or so you would expect).

Roby will run at Hock all day long

Me too, I would play Ben Cross rather than Gaz Hock.
