always been a massive advocate of tyrer - always seems to have a good attitude (a bit like ben kaye) but he has been woeful this time round. Butler in for me.

Murrell has to be in the team, yes he's slow but we have absolutely nobody else that commands the team around like he does. he's the captain for a reason.

Grix for me is wasted in the second row, id much rather see him at loose. You could see it last year that everything flowed better and quicker with him in the middle.

JWH is not a scrum half (IMO) his feet cause some damage in at centre and i'd much rather see him there - salty/clare/whoever is on the wing WILL score with him next to them (see sheffield last year with McGrath).

I keep saying the name Craven but i just love the way he plays and he is NOT getting the game time at widnes - why are we not trying to secure his services?

Fairbank i dont think has been bad at all, he's aggressive and if anyone is going to get an offload off its him.

If anyone is going to get a call up from the reserves, for me it should be cullimore and drop ben kaye. I like the looks of him and its a one of the many positions that needs an injection of pace.

I think ive finished ranting now but i'll let you know!

No Fleming?

Depends how Fleming framed in training. close between him and Douglas for 17th spot. He needs a kick up the backside after Sunday's performance.
Time for hard changes. We have got too comfy , too soft and certainly not lean,
