Same place they were the past few weeks. Westerman would come back in if fit but neither Brown, nor Russel deserve a spot never mind walking back in to the team. It should take an injury for them to get a shout.

Brown's time may come next year, but him and Gidley are pedestrian and I like Patton in the team.

Russell needs to convince he can do better than lineman as for now, Pomeroy and Hiku have a good understanding. Easy to understand considering they practically came in together.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Gidley missing next week. A game v Widnes is probably the best possible game to bring him back for to be honest.

I'm not as anti Russell as most, but he doesn't deserve a spot ahead of Lineham (liked his effort to haul in Marshall) or Hiku / Pomeroy who look solid in defence and after 50 mins together produced the best bit of centre/winger play I've seen from a wire team all year.

If hudds win tomorrow we can rest gidley and give brown a run out, without too much to lose, if it's a must win game gidley must play over brown and Patton deserves to keep his place the two have played well last few games and I don't see a reason to make a change possibly brown for smith with gidly moving to hooker whilst clarks rested

Russell cannot get back in the team as he is nowhere near lineham and we've looked far better defensively with pomeroy in the team, from the limited times seen him play if there's no winger we want that's available would he be worth an extra year allowing us time and possibly cap space to find our next long term winger.

Josh Charnley would be a good winger to go for.

Brown and Russell stay out unless there are injuries, we must keep Patton in the team, this end of season run regardless of the Super or Middles is his time to stamp his mark on the position and step up ready for next season. Equally he could blow up and we all join the lynch mob and chase him down. I really hope he cuts it though.

If we are to buy a halfback for next year, he needs rest of season to prove he deserves to stay in the team. If he can't it may be best for him to move on as I'm sure he wouldn't want another year as a bit part player..

Always.
