Bad news that Washbrook and Siejka are still in. That means Agar will persist with Sammut at 1 which has been no improvement than Mathers who is wasted on the wing.

I would go with

Mathers
Owen
Sykes
Walshaw
Riley

Sammut
Godinet

Anderson
McShane
Moore
Ryan
Kirmond
Smith

Scruton
Wildie
Molloy
Gilmour

Molloy on for Smith at LF

I'd go with:

Sammut
Mathers
Ryan
Walshaw
Riley
Sykes
Godinet
Anderson
McShane
Scruton
Kirmond
Washbrook
Molloy

Wildie
Moore
Smith
Gilmour

Siejka
Owen

I'm torn over Mathers and Owen

Raleigh can't get in the 19 very surprising. Gilmour and Siejka to miss out for me, Mathers back to full back please, we have two natural wingers there, surely they'll play?

It could all be a ruse! Play a bad half-back partnership in games we'll lose anyway, saving our secret weapon for the big games!

Sammut

Owen
Gilmour
Ryan
Riley

Seijka
Sykes

Scruton
McShane
Anderson
Kirmond
Washbrook
Molloy

Smith
Moore
Godnet
Mathers


Would suggest the above line up is something like the side in Agars head.

Are you being deliberately obtuse. I really don't think you're so stupid as to persist with Mathers on the wing - even if there was not an obvious alternative I don't believe you.

Out of what Agar has chosen is go with this with Siejka and Washbrook to miss out, but I think it's hugely unlikely and RA will continue to play players out of position and stick with the non performers.

Willzay what on earth have you got against danny washbrook?

You do realise over the last 6 or 7 matches he's easily been one of our best and most consistant forwards, dont you?

No, contrary to popular belief amongst the keyboard coaches he doesnt get in because he's one of Agars best mates, he gets in because he works his socks off for the side...everything that everyine is crying out for...

Over the last 7 matches he's averaging over 35 tackles per game and has missed only 11 in those 7 games....he's averaged over 75 metres gained which aint bad at all for someone who everyone says offers nothing going forward.....he's also only made 3 errors and conceded 4 penalties and has at least twice been picked in the top 3 match performers in the league express....

Give the lad a break ffs....

KC, I honestly think we'll get tonked if we start with 12 players.

Not entirely correct.
Its not the amount of players that count
its the players you pick and the position they play in.

What absolute has he been our best performer. Again, you have your Agar-tinted spectacles on, he had two decent games against Hull and Cas, but other than that he has been utter garbage. Molloy, on the other hand, performed better in the two or three games he's played. For a forward Washbrook's going forward is pathetic and his defence has even turned bad. He's OOC at the end of the season and his spot should be taken by Annakin or Molloy.

Well.....possibly. But I'm not keen on Owen yet. He hasn't been better.

I can;t help thinking if we win and be 10 points clear,they will get more points back than...........
if they win they will get less.Because of the RFL timing,making it not that "important" game at all.

Call me a conspiracies!!!!!(thanks spell check).

Will be there anyway with flask and binoculars.

lol forgot Sykes!!
Washy in at 13 then and Sykes to miss out!!

Is that a prop in the centres or are you doing an Agar?

Put player in familiar positions wherever possible

Mathers
Owen
Ryan
Walshaw
Riley
Sykes
Godinet
Anderson
McShane
Scruton
Kirmond
Washbrook
Malloy

Wildie
Moore
Smith
Gilmour

Siejka
Owen

Mathers
Owen
Sykes
Walshaw
Riley

Godinet
Sammut

Anderson
McShane
Moore
Kirmond
Ryan
Washbrook

Wildie
Scruton
Smith
Gilmour/Molloy

Siejka
Gilmour/Molloy

Torn whether to put Ryan in the centres and leave Sykes out, replacing Sykes and putting Molloy/Gilmour in at second row.

Think the likely Agar team will be..

Sammut
Owen
Gilmour
Ryan
Riley
Sykes
Siejka
Anderson
McShane
Scruton
Kirmond
Washbrook
Molloy

Subs. Moore, Smith, Godinet, Walshaw (even at 50/50 worth a punt from bench for cover for back row/centre).
Owen & Gilmour should have some understanding from their Cas time together?
Wildie & Mathers to miss.
If Raleigh was fit then he'd have to be on the bench as a third prop to counteract the big Bradford pack (then not risking Walshaw) who rolled us last time.

I put Ryan and Anderson in the wrong positions, but I wouldn't put it past Agar!!

Why on earth is Raleigh not in the squad if fit? We need 4 props to match them, going with 3 imo is madness

For all the stick Agar gets about playing players out of position I'm still seeing plenty select their teams with players who are 'supposedly' out of position....and ones that Agar tried out.....

Sammut at fullback for example.....and Daniel Smith at loose forward...Sykes at centre.....Mathers on wing....

I think nowadays players have to be versatile....the halfback playing at fullback is nothing new....it's a trend a lot of coaches are going with now and it's one I really like, and one that has brought us success.....same with Godinet playing hooker....it's not something that's totally alien to him, he's played there before for his country....a lot of halfbacks are happy to have a go and switch between both rolls.....Luke Robinson at Huddersfield being a perfect example.....Rob Burrow another at Leeds.....Sinfield is playing there at the moment through injuries.....

Folk are happy to go along with Daniel Smith (signed as, and always played as a prop as far as I know) as loose forward and yet leave our best backrower of the last couple of months (Washbrook) out of the side completely.....

Sykes is on record as saying he's happiest at six....in his time with us he's played all his best games there....he's covered all across the backline throughout his career but feels more comfortable at six....

Mathers for me is the only one you could genuinely question as it's an unfamiliar role to someone who has always played fullback.....as far as I can see he only went there due to real lacking options at wing due to injuries....now with both Owen and Riley named I'd be really surprised if Mathers was named to play on the wing...

Mathers
Owen
Walshaw
Sykes
Riley

Sammutt
Godinet

Anderson
McShane
Smith
Kirmond
Ryan
Washbrook

Wildie
Moore
Scruton
Molloy

Oops forgot about Smith
