Here's one from left field. Dan Tai is still at Carnegie I believe.

Got a season's experience with our Under 19s, more physically developed now than he was then.

Alternatively, wonder if Carnegie fancy lending us Dave Doherty for a couple of weeks?

Don't know who would be viewed as next in line from u19s - Ryan Jones is quick but not that big. Nathan waring is only in first year in u19's but may be an option.

Jamel Chisholm is playing for Oldham these days, as for Achurch on the wing I'll take the fifth amendment on that one.

If Falloon is back then I'd possibly move Sutcliffe to the centres or to fullback with Zak to the centres, with burrow and Lilly in the halves

Burrow and Lilley in the halves is about as effective as Hardaker's goal kicking. I agree with some of the other comments re Caton-Brown or Yeaman

Wouldn't know yet really as one has always had to play dummy half. If Falloon is fit then that's makes a big difference and starting Sutcliffe at centre you can switch him around with Hardaker when near the oppositions end, see if he can do what Hardaker can't in those advanced attacking positions.

Defensively you can have both HB's defend next to the wingers with Sutcliffe 3rd man in from the right thus having a more balanced defence. Whilst Keinhorst can fill one centre position i think our other back rowers are too big/slow to defend centre for the full 80, someone would probably have to fill in there at some point as Falloon probably couldn't do the full 80 so you switch someone to centre, Sutcliffe up to the halves, Burrow up to 9.

Of course it's reliant on Falloon making it which I accept seems like a big IF at the moment.

Hardaker
Watkins - Sutcliffe - Keinhorst - Hall
Lilley - Burrow
Garbutt - Falloon - Cuthbertson
Delaney - Ferres
Singleton

JJB - Mullally - Walters - Galloway

I don't see any of the u19's backs being ready so that's a no go imo.
Might be a bit left-field but to get Watkins more involved maybe switch him to FB?

m.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/spo ... witterfeed Seems possible Falloon will play. Also note it mentions Achirch played vs Catalans even though he had cracked ribs.

Achurch and Baldwinson on stand by encase injuries don't make it

If Falloon not fit then this looks as good a line up as we can muster under the circumstances. However if JJB fit I would start him as his leadership and enthusiasm could give us some momentum. If Falloon is fit then I would play same team with Burrow and Lilley in the halves and Sutty at centre with Ferres back in the pack and Baldwinson to drop out.

Achurch deserves a fair amount of credit for doing that.

Id much rather get a hooker or a year loan, I think the last few games has shown that we are in dire need of back up at 9, that is unless we convert Stevie Ward to Hooker as imo it would 1 solve that problem and 2 probably be his best position

Assuming all 19 are fit and available (probably not) would be nice to see -

Sutcliffe
Lilley

If everyone in that 19 is fit then it's Achurch and Baldwinson who drop out, with Keinhorst taking Moons centre spot.

I find it very hard to believe Handley will play though, it didn't look good the way he left the pitch on Friday, if he's not fit we will be in a bit of a hole, with Ferres or Walters likely having to go into the backs.

When Singleton goes off, bring Sutcliffe to loose Forward, Falloon at hooker and Burrow partnering Lilley in the halves.

It was potentially a lot worse for Friday but I'm quite happy with the team we are able to put out.

Think I heard Handley's injury described as a bang on the knee (Brian Mac?). While it looked bad at the time it's conceivable that he's sufficiently recovered to play.

Burrow in the halves?

(Shiver)

Just thinking that they might want to keep the captain on for the full 80, hope I'm wrong but it's possible.

That's not actually half bad. I'd be pleased to go with that considering recent week's line ups.

That's not bad at all. Not sure about JJB starting though. I reckon Wigan will load their left side so Handley/ Watkins/ Ferres will be working overtime in defence.

From us I'd expect:

Sarginson
Charnley
Gelling
Gildart
Manfredi

Very close, but not quite right

JJB and Falloon in but start on the bench.

Big chance for Achurch starting tonight.
