burnett and hall to miss out but can see hall playing and j. briscoe not playing.

I'm really not convinced that bringing briscoe in is the best option.

Out of interest, who would you like to see at fullback?

Personally I'd be happy to see J. Briscoe there as I don't think Hall is the answer and I can't think of anyone else to play there as all our utility players are injured or tied up elsewhere.

I don't think sticking a kid in for his first appearance at wire in understrength team will do him any good. I'd give turner a go and put hall in the centre

I'm with you Jake.

theres my team for friday

I must be wrong then. I'll have to re-evaluate

It wouldn't be the first time.
Stick with me son I'll educate you!

Cheers dad. Can't wait

Hall or Turner to fullback, Jack Briscoe should be nowhere near.

Totally agree!

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of Turner there...good hands, solid defence great pace (not sure how he is under the high ball).....Who for the centre spot though...Hally with young Lyne could be a defensvie nightmare


I like Berro at centre but we need him hi the h/back postion.

Turner certainly has the attributes to be a great FB. Wonder if he's ever played there

Not sure...I know at ameatur he was 13 and 6..

Turner didn't look too comfortable under the high ball against Wigan. I'd be tempted to give J.Briscoe a go, yes he is young but so was Horne when he made his debut at 16 away at Leeds.

On what basis?

I have not seen any evidence to suggest that Turner could play full back in fact going by his bomb catching attempts against Wigan I would think definately not!

Plus Turner has settled into the right centre berth and the less disruption to the team as a whole the better surely?

Its going to be Hall at full back and I just pray he doesnt drop an early b0ll0ck or it could be a long night...

But i dont understand the rationale for playing Hall?

I can't recall what feeling was when Tom Briscoe made his debut but isn't Jack at a similar age with similar training?

I would imagine it will be down to experience in that Hall has played first team in that position and they feel J.Briscoe may be left exposed against the kicking game of Warrington.

They were at a similar age for sure but Tom was brought in on the wing for his debut and I am not sure if he started the game or came off the bench in what was a very injury hit backline that night.

He started the game. Berro also played in the centres that night.

Just looked it up and he did start on the bench!



Backline was Tony (who injured his knee), Byrne, Hall, Berrigan, Williams, Washy and Lee.

Our attack struggled that night!

Forgot he even played for us

He is a young kid with no experience who has clearly been nowhere near ready for the first team all season. Add to that we are playing away at the 2nd best team in the comp who possess a top kicker it could be suicide.
